Re: SeverityLevel and Custom Checks

Hi,

I can answer for the Eclipse plugin related parts.

1. Eclipse itself supports only the same 3 levels of severity for 
resource markers (info, warning, error - see 
org.eclipse.core.resources.IMarker). This means a tight integration of 
additional severity value seems not easily possible.
One could work around a bit by coding the additional error severity into 
the violation message (ugly, I know).

2. Custom checks can be integrated with the eclipse-cs plugin, two 
supported ways to do this are described here:
http://eclipse-cs.sourceforge.net/extending_custom_checks.html
and
http://eclipse-cs.sourceforge.net/extending_fragments.html

The cleanest way to go would be via the fragment approach, you can even 
provide a update site for your custom checks.
