When using findbugs there seems to be no way to configure the Rank of a detected bug.
For our organization it would very helpfull if there was some way of configuring this on a bug by bug level.
The reason for needing this feature is because the impact of certain bugs can vary much depending in the project findbugs is used on. in our case most performance bugs are much less an issue the SQL related bugs.
Also there is the problem of preventing bugs which are made extinct to resurface.
By giving a servere rank to eradicated (normaly less important) bugs, we can enforce this bug as a compiler warning in eclipse.
This funktionality is already there, bit unfortunately not well documented. Please check

Is it correct that its impossible to configure this on a Workspace basis (for eclipse or ant-task in Jenkins/Hudson?
Yep.
