At the moment Violations plugin has an inconsistency in a representation of violations.
Internally plugin has 5 Severities (Severity.java):
- HIGH
- MEDIUM_HIGH
- MEDIUM
- MEDIUM_LOW
- LOW
But these 5 levels are shown only in 3 Colors (SeverityTypeDataSet.java):
- RED
- VIOLET
- YELLOW
(The selection of colors is unusual too. Means violet better or worser as red?)
As a result of mapping of 5 levels to 3 colors some critical information is lost.
For example Checkstyle has errors (mapped to MEDIUM_HIGH) and warnings (mapped to MEDIUM).
In a graph they are both red, therefore one can not distinguish between them.
