 Description   

if you include such snippet in build.gradle:
createTask('findbugs') {
println 'Running findbugs static code analysis'
ant {
taskdef(name:'findbugs', classname:'edu.umd.cs.findbugs.anttask.FindBugsTask', classpath: configurations.findbugsConf.asPath)

findbugs(home: '/home/tomek/bin/findbugs', output:'xml')

{ sourcePath(path: 'src/main/java') class(location: 'build/libs/findbugs-unspecified.jar') }

}
}

it will fail with the following message:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

  • Where:
    Build file '/home/tomek/temp/findbugs/build.gradle' line: 22
  • What went wrong:
    Could not compile build file '/home/tomek/temp/findbugs/build.gradle'.
    Cause: startup failed, build_gradle_bfa6716a6b68b3a8303c7268cf58a48e: 22: unexpected token: class @ line 22, column 3.
    1 error

looks like "class" is treated as reserved keyword and can't be included in the build script like this

This makes impossible to use Findbugs from build.gradle via its Ant task (class parameter is required by Findbugs)

Attached project illustrates this behaviour.

You can quote the class method:

findbugs(...) {
    "class"(location: ...)
}

We can't really do anything about that. But that's a good issue for the faq/cookbook.
