+                    <code>ProjectProblemsProvider.ProjectProblem</code> has so far required a <code>ProjectProblemResolver</code> effectively
+                    making all problems resolvable, however a few places emerged where an automated resolution is not at hand and still we want to report the
+                    error/warning. 2 new factory methods introduced.
