How can I print reported bugs to console in gradle findbugs plugin?

I am using Gradle FindBugs Plugin. How can I print reported bugs to console? PMD plugin has a consoleOutput property. Is there a similar property for FindBugs?

As you can see here there's no such property or configuration possibility for FindBugs plugin. However it seems that the plugin can be customized in some way. E.g. by parsing and displaying the results.

See here and here.

This is rudimentary ... but it's a start

task checkFindBugsReport << {
    def xmlReport = findbugsMain.reports.xml
    if (!xmlReport.destination.exists()) return;
    def slurped = new XmlSlurper().parse(xmlReport.destination)
    def report = ""
    slurped['BugInstance'].eachWithIndex { bug, index ->
        report += "${index + 1}. Found bug risk ${bug.@'type'} of category ${bug.@'category'} "
        report += "in the following places"
        bug['SourceLine'].each { place ->
            report += "\n       ${place.@'classname'} at lines ${place.@'start'}:${place.@'end'}"
        }
    }
    if (report.length() > 1) {
        logger.error "[FINDBUGS]\n ${report}"
    }
}

findbugsMain.finalizedBy checkFindBugsReport

You can do that with Violations Gradle Plugin. It is configured with patterns to identify report files and to run after check. It will

Accumulate all static code analysis tools into a unified report.
Print it to the build log.
Optionally fail the build if there are too many violations.

Findbugs/Spotbugs come with a class that can run after analysis, read an xml report and print to text/html. It is included in the findbugs/spotbugs.jar file.

    <java classname="edu.umd.cs.findbugs.PrintingBugReporter" fork="true">
        <arg value="${build.dir}/findbugs/findbugs-test-report.xml"/>
        <classpath path="${spotbugs.home}/lib/spotbugs.jar"/>
    </java>

Which is same as running

java  -cp path/to/spotbugs.jar edu.umd.cs.findbugs.PrintingBugReporter  path/to/findbugs-report.xml

It has an -html option that will render html.

It should be feasible to achieve the same in gradle/maven.
