Description Michael Rennie CLA 2014-11-18 11:32:24 EST 
Part of the hover / quickfix story is that consumers need to be able to tell how a validation problem was created so they can know if their fixes apply or not.

We should add an optional Id field to the API problem object:  

https://wiki.eclipse.org/Orion/Documentation/Developer_Guide/Plugging_into_the_editor#The_Problem_object

that will remain with the annotation object - in turn being passed back during a quick-fix invocation, and being used to filter quick-fix contributions, for example:

validationProperties: [
  {source: "annotation:id", match: "no-extra-semi"} //$NON-NLS-1$ //$NON-NLS-0$
]
