The nice thing about FindBugs is that you can, e.g., automatically run it in a Jenkins pipeline. Just for ad-hoc analysis in Java IntelliJ's code inspector IMO works quite well. It's also available in the community edition, so all

Why isn't there an alternative? Signal uses the Axolotl protocol for encryption. There are already several XMPP clients that support the OMEMO protocol which is based on Axolotl ( https://conversations.im/omemo/ ).
