Log Tool generates class names like :

./api/target/generated-sources/annotations/org/switchyard/APILogger_$logger.java

./validate/target/generated-sources/annotations/org/switchyard/validate/ValidateMessages_$bundle.java

When I run findbugs, my project isn't clean anymore because of these generated classes - findbugs complains that these classes do not start with a capital letter. It looks like this violates the NM_CLASS_NAMING_CONVENTION rule.

From Findbugs website :

Class names should be nouns, in mixed case with the first letter of each internal word capitalized. Try to keep your class names simple and descriptive. Use whole words-avoid acronyms and abbreviations (unless the abbreviation is much more widely used than the long form, such as URL or HTML).

I can probably work around this by providing FindBugs exceptions for "$logger" and "$bundle", but it might be good practice if the first letter were upper cased in the generated class (i.e. "$Logger" and "$Bundle" .
