The above is the configuration parameters for my Spotbugs plugin entry. How do I output the report in text format?

I find the XML output too verbose even when there are no bugs reported. Is there a way of reducing the verbosity of the output? Additionally, the output is poorly formatted. Too many elements crammed into a single line.
