I would like to have the the ability to set eclipse tasks and some
plugin-generated tasks as "reviewed".  I'm thinking of siutations where Eclipse
rightfully generates warnings, but no action should be taken.  For example, many
of my unit tests do nothing in the catch block, because catching an exception is
the expected behavior.  I still want to see these warnings in general, but would
like to filter out those I've already examined.

One requirement is for these tasks to be able to be filtered out, kind of like
<A href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=39417">Bug #39417</A>

The ability to annotate the review, and to see the date of the review, would be
especially useful.

Tasks would have to be un-marked when their related code changes.  A simple
solution could be to mark them for re-review when the related file changes.  

It may be the case that this ability is not suitable for all tasks, if so, it
would need to be another attribute of some sort.

An example of usage: I write code and receive new issues.  Some I fix, some of
these will not be resolved.  I mark appropriate ones as reviewed, making a
comment, and they disappear from my task filter.  I check in the 'annotations'
file to share these changes with my teammates.  As a lead developer, I would
periodically review the tasks, ordered by their review date, to see if the
reasons were valid.
