StatusReporter defines newStatus method which allows to report a message together with severity (INFO, WARNING, ERROR). However it does not allow to give a title (or name, tag, etc.) of a message. Consequently all dialogs shown to a user have to have the same title (in case of WorkbenchStatusReporter the title is 'Internal Error' what is sometimes really misleading, especially when a message has INFO severity). 

A given title could/should be also logged.

I would propose to add second newStatus method with additional 'title' parameter.

Reproducible: Always

Same problem here.

For me it is not absolutely necessary to set the title manually. It would be sufficient to have different predefined titles for warning/error/info in case the existing interface should not be broken. Especially for "Info" it is strange to have a "problem occurred" title. As unimportant as it might seem, it is quite often remarked by customers.
