29 void acceptProblem(IProblem problem);
32 * Notification sent before starting the problem detection process.
33 * Typically, this would tell a problem collector to clear previously recorded problems.
35 void beginReporting();
38 * Notification sent after having completed problem detection process.
39 * Typically, this would tell a problem collector that no more problems should be expected in this

49 * This predicate will be invoked once prior to each problem detection iteration.
51 * @return boolean - indicates whether the requestor is currently interested by problems.
