public static void report(java.util.Collection topics,

                          java.lang.String message)

This is the standard way to report debugging information in the compiler. It conditionally reports a message if it is related to one of the specified topics. The variable topics is a collection of strings. The obscurity of the message is indicated by level. The message is reported only if the user has requested (via the -report command-line option) that messages of that obscurity be reported for one of the specified topics.
