I think it would make more sense to have support in the warnings plug-in? analysis-collector just collects the results from the other static analysis plugins. Or am I missing something?

I think better option would be to have separate plugin probably based on Checkstyle plugin but having separate UI.

Because detekt tool supports generation of reports in checkstyle xml format we already can use existing Checkstyle plugin: https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Checkstyle+Plugin
to display result using pipeline syntax like

checkstyle pattern: "$BUILD_DIR/reports/checkstyle/checkstyle.xml, $BUILD_DIR/reports/detekt/detekt.xml"

This approach works fine but if project uses both checkstyle and detekt we will have warnings from different tools in same section which is not ideal.

I'm sorry if I choose incorrect component when filing this feature request. Feel free to reassign it if there is better suited option.

I see. So the only requirement for you is to have a separate UI for the warnings? Then this would be automatically available if the improved pipeline support is ready, see wiki for details. There you can also check if all of your requirements are noted.

Yes, looks like proposed changes for improved pipeline support will solve this issue.

Good to see. So what is missing is just a new parser configuration class (see CheckStyle for an example).

(Adding such a class is optional. But with such a class you specify labels, icons, default file name, etc. for detekt.
You even can provide all the descriptions from your web page - if they use the same format as CheckStyle).
