Agreed about the priority. In fact when I wrote the PMD integration with the suggestions window (see the last screenshot in the original post) I wanted to have priorities, since I had that for other suggestion plugins, so I requested it on the PMD alias and it was added. So priorities are there in the ruleset now, it's just not surfaced in the regular NetBeans plugin. Yeah I really should try to find some time to upgrade it. It would be nice too if the PMD plugin would be rewritten to be more like the other recent NetBeans features (like the refactoring window) using a treetable for matches like these (with filtering like the TODO window) rather than a plain output window with hyperlinks. I'd like to be able to warp right to the rule description from a violation, for example.
