Eclipse: List of TODO tags in Task view

[veljovic]

Hi all,

It seems that I cannot see any of the TODO tasks in my Tasks window. I
probably disabled it somehow some time ago and now when I make // TODO
comment it does not show in the Tasks list. I made sure that in
Preferences->Java->Task Tags menu everything is setup correctly. TODO
is a default tag.
Please help if you know how to make my TODO tasks show in the Tasks
window again.

Thanks,
Tzar

Did you check the filter setting and the selected working set in the
task view? Got me once...

I checked that. It looks fine.
I think problem is when I enter a comment like // TODO it does not
create a task icon on the left edge of the editor (after saving). If I
manually click on the left edge and select Add Task then it does but
for some reason it's not doing it for the // TODO comment.
I tried it on couple of other machines and they work fine. It
automatically creates a TODO task and it shows it in the Tasks View.

One thing I have different on my machine is I have Lomboz plug-in
installed. I am not sure if that could interfere.

Tzar,

I'm not sure if this is the reason, but I noticed the feature stopped
working sometime after this was announced:

It seemed to me that this behavior of Eclipse 2 was omitted from Eclipse
3, or at least not enabled by default. I last looked into when Eclipse
3 was still prerelease, however, and I never fully characterized the
problem.

It still works for me. Eclipse 3.0 split the task tags (todo) and
compiler errors into separate panes ("Tasks" and "Problems").
And indeed todos must now be enabled in Window->Preferences
->Java->Task Tags. And, as said before, the Filter setting on the
Task view must enable them. That's all I can find about it...
