Generate parsable reportfile

[tomasbjerre]

I'd like to be able to generate reportfiles with result of the analysis. In my case I need a parsable report (there are some examples to perhaps resemble here).

I'm currently supporting it by parsing the output from the build log: https://github.com/tomasbjerre/violations-lib/blob/master/src/main/java/se/bjurr/violations/lib/parsers/GoogleErrorProneParser.java

But still a format made for parsing would be better!

+1 for this request, this will help with CI since parsing the entire build output for ErrorProne errors isn't that easy and reliable.

Some attention here would be nice. There was a working PR #1132 that now has conflicts due to slow feedback...

This feature would really help introduce this great tool in legacy projects!

+1 It would be nice if this is implemented, currently at Checkstyle, we are using a custom groovy script to parse the output and get the errors. Built-in support will be beneficial.
