Is there a way to add or link to more bug descriptions in the report?
I mean good explanations of errors like RCN_REDUNDANT_NULLCHECK_WOULD_HAVE_BEEN_A_NPE like in the GUI mode.
Some bug titles are not immediately clear.
Example for a description:
RCN_REDUNDANT_NULLCHECK_WOULD_HAVE_BEEN_A_NPE : A value is checked
here to see whether it is null, but this value can't be null because
it was previously dereferenced and if it were null a null pointer
exception would have occurred at the earlier dereference. Essentially,
this code and the previous dereference disagree as to whether this
value is allowed to be null. Either the check is redundant or the
previous dereference is erroneous.
You can use Violations Gradle Plugin to do that.
It can accumulate a bunch of report tools and present it nicely in the build log.
