PMD reports are organized by file, making it easy to see all the problems in one file. However, in our environment, some problems are considered more serious than others. It would be nice to have an additional report that is organized by type of error, making it easy to see all the places where a specific type of violation occurs.

Not really easy actually. It's PMD which order errors by file. If some one want to provide a patch. I think that we need to have an XSLT file to order entries by problems and not by files, and a JSL file to create the xdoc.

PMD comes with a number of XSLT files that can help with this. Look at http://infoether.com/~tom/pmd_js/pmdreport.xml for a report that also shows the severity. For me, that would be enough (to have the severity with each problem), having the report organized by type of error is less important to me.
