              <goal>generate</goal>

Logic to decide severity

• If bug pattern's category is STYLE, MALICIOUS_CODE, I18N or EXPERIMENTAL, its severity is INFO
• Otherwise its severity is MAJOR

Logic to decide tag

• If bug pattern's category is PERFORMANCE, CORRECTNESS or MULTI-THREADING, it's tagged with bug
• You can specify comma-separated list of custom tag by <tags> parameter, e.g. <tags>foo,bar</tags>
