eclipse plugins findbugs

I had just installed FindBugs plugin for Eclipse. My Eclipse is Juno. I am using Windows 7.

It shows up at Help -> about Eclipse -> Installed Software as FindBugs Feature

However it does not exist on Project Properties.

I had tried to run eclipse as Administrator, installing from either marketplace or manual.

But no luck.

I use a copied Eclipse (without installation) at Desktop.

Any thought on how to shows the FindBugs in project properties?

Thanks

Just in case you haven't figured out yet, and so it might help others like me. If you are installing a version of Eclipse FindBugs 3.0 or greater, then it's only supported on Java 7. Update your JDK to 7.0 and you will see Findbugs show up as a part of your properties. Wasted a lot of hours on this one.
