In Java, always explicitly specify which XML parser to use.

Add the below parameter in your classpath:

-Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl
-Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl

It was a wrong version of findbugs. It works with:

Findbugs: 2.5.3
maven-compiler-plugin: 2.5.1

Also I decided to resign my pom.xml with cobertura and change it to pmd plugin. So my pom.xml looks like:

            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-pmd-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <linkXref>true</linkXref>
                    <sourceEncoding>UTF-8</sourceEncoding>
                    <minimumTokens>30</minimumTokens>
                    <targetJdk>1.6</targetJdk>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
            <plugin>
               <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
               <artifactId>findbugs-maven-plugin</artifactId>
               <version>${findbugs.version}</version>
            </plugin>

  <reporting>
     <plugins>
        <plugin>
           <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
           <artifactId>findbugs-maven-plugin</artifactId>
           <version>${findbugs.version}</version>
        </plugin>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-pmd-plugin</artifactId>
        </plugin>
      </plugins>
   </reporting>

and I prepareing my report through command:

mvn clean -D"dependency.locations.enabled=false" compile site
