In the JDT editor the right hand column gives an overview of annotations. Errors/warnings are really useful. Everything else seems pretty cosmetic. I prefer to use the defaults so I don't want to switch them off.

Again in JDT, corrupting a declaration spelling is a really effective way of getting a useful 'Find References' markup.

However there is no prioritization of annotations, so a 'wanted' error marker can  be occluded by an 'unwanted' breakpoint marker. 'Find References' fails to show all the errors.

Suggest an annotation priority so that high priority annotations occlude lower priority annotations. Errors +200, warnings +100, everything else +0.
