Please review. Thanks.

The patch is OK.
Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2012-03-14 23:18:38 UTC
[JG01] The createErrorDescription overloads are becoming unreadably long. Consider using the builder pattern for optional args, e.g.

ErrorDescription e = ErrorDescriptionFactory.make(WARNING, "Bad stuff!", doc, line).id("bad_stuff).details("There is bad stuff here.").fixes(oneFix, anotherFix);
Comment 5 Jan Lahoda 2012-03-15 22:44:37 UTC
JL01: I am thinking about converting the factory into a builder (possibly deprecating the whole ErrorDescriptionFactory and replacing it with ErrorDescriptionBuilder), but I would rather keep the change simple for now. If/when we move to to the builder pattern, deprecating three additional methods shouldn't be too difficult.
Comment 6 Jesse Glick 2012-03-20 03:08:59 UTC
JG01 - OK.
Comment 7 Martin Balin 2016-07-07 07:28:39 UTC
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
