Specifying --ide on the command line will result in the output being formatted in a manner that allows IDEs to recognise the error and display it appropiatly if it is run as a custom tool, linking the issue to the source code and adding it to the error list.

MonoDevelop doesn't currently use the MSBuild standard error format for processing custom tools' output, but that could be added fairly easily. |
|
Also, parameters are camelCase, not PascalCase. camelCase is the one with a hump :) |

I don't seem to be able to update the commit range for this pull request as I specified a specific commit rather than a branch - not sure if I can update it. The formatting issues raised in the comments are fixed in a second commit to the krijesta/mono-tools:ide branch |

Currently the output from Gendarme is not recognised by IDEs. This change adds the ability to specify a command line option ("--ide") which adds a line to the output which is formatted so that IDEs can parse it. This allows Gendarme to be used as a build step and errors will appear in the build error list and link correctly to the line and file where the error occurred.
This has been tested on SharpDevelop and VS2010. It doesn't work on MonoDevelop but I was unable to find any documentation as to what format it requires for custom tools to generate errors to appear in the error list, or if that is supported at all.
