Inconsistency in Violations Plugin (Checkstyle)

      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.

          The violations plugin is deprecated. It has an unresolved security vulnerability. The last commit to the source code repository was over 7 years ago. Closing the issue as "Won't fix"
