Re: TaskList API proposal

Hi Tor,

I've read the API.
1. Why don't we have SuggestionType as a class? It should be created so we
can simply get description or icon for type of a suggestion.
2. Can  org.openide.text.Line be used to point to a directory? I can imagine
suggestions like "use only lowercase letters for directory names" or
    "split this package. It contains too many classes"
3. Please insert values for PRIORITY_*-constants into JavaDoc
4.  DocumentSuggestionProvider operates only on one Document. My opinion is
that SuggestionProviders like copyright-checker should be started
     as a project is opened and should scan all files in the project in a
background-thread with low priority. I don't want to open each file in the
project
     to find out that some of them use wrong copyright message. An audit
module could also need to know dependencies between different files and so
on.
5. Independent of (4): SuggestionProvider should have a method [double
getProgress()] that returns it's progress in percents. We can use this
information
    to present a progress bar to the user.
