Interface MessageSeverity

public interface MessageSeverity

This is the interface that represents the severity of a simple message popup. The severity defines the default title and the icon to use. We do NOT use an enum here to allow custom extension. However, we do NOT just use a String instead to make signatures more explicit and for better documentation.
The following severities are predefined:

• INFORMATION
• WARNING
• ERROR
• QUESTION

Implementations should ignore unsupported icons or use a fallback.

Since:

1.0.0
