Implementation details of Findbugs

I am reading findbugs source code to have a clear understanding on the implementation of Findbugs.I have some problems:

1 There are too many main classes in the source files .Which one should I choose to debug.

2 As I know ,Findbugs traverses the AST and find the bug pattern,if it matches,bug reported.And where is the definition of bug patterns?

Is anyone can help me ?Thanks.

The definitions of the bugs are in two xml files in the etc directory findbugs.xml and messages.xml

All the detectors are in the edu.umd.cs.findbugs.detectors package. The detectors for the most part are implemented as a listener pattern. Callbacks are called by findbugs-proper when various parts of class are scanned.

The main 'controller' loop for findbugs is FindBugs2.analyzeApplication
