This PR applies the spotbugs gradle plugin. spotbugs is a static code analysis tool that can detect a lot of bug patterns in Java (and Kotlin).
This is a selection of the type of issues reported by spotbugs:
Spotbugs is run automatically as part of the
check
andbuild
gradle tasks. The plugin is currently configured to treat all issues that it finds as warnings, not errors. Thus, the build succeeds although spotbugs reports problems.Fixing all issues reported by spotbugs will keep us busy for a while. To keep this manageable, I think we should fix warnings in several smaller PRs and treat found issues as errors as soon as we have cleaned up the codebase.
This is a first step towards resolving #1806.
