After switching from 2.5.6 to 3.1.0.RELEASE I'm getting the following error upon deployment:

PHP Code:
nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [edu/umd/cs/findbugs/annotations/SuppressWarnings.class] cannot be opened because it does not exist 
Some of my classes/fields are anotated with @edu.umd.cs.findbugs.annotations.SuppressWarnings and it seems
org.springframework.core.type.classreading.SimpleM etadataReader is trying to load the inputstream as a classpath resource.

Is there any workaround this issue aside from putting findbugs.jar on classpath?

It's not a big deal actually but I'm paranoid about deploying unused dependencies

Cheers!
