Hi Ray,

What version of eclipse are you running?

Thanks!

Thanks for the help.

Here is how i did it:
In the tasks window:
1. click the down arrow
2. Select ‘Configure Contents’
3. Add your tag to the ‘Configurations’ list via ‘New…’ button.
4. Click on the desired tag
5. Select the ‘On any element in same project’ radio button.
6. Click OK when done.

Valentin, thanks a lot for your comment!
It appears the reason for my TODO tasks not appearing automatically on the Tasks view was in fact due to the Project/Build Automatically option not being enabled. Thanks!

To filter out the TODOs in frameworks or other code you don’t control, you can go to the Tasks list window, choose the “View Menu” control (next to the minimize and maximize buttons) and choose “Configure Contents” Here you can choose to display only TODOs in the same project or only under the current selected element or whatever. (This is in eclipse 3.5.1. Don’t know about other versions)

I have another related problem:

I want to filter my todos by directory or file. The task list shows me all @todo in all open projects, not useful. Especially when working on a framework with dozens of modules each with heaps of todos. I’ve got 1200 right now, which means I’ll never look at them

I came up with a repeatable solution (so far, at least):

Hope that helps someone.

I’m curious, are there any updates on this?

Thanks.

Add comment

//TODO do this later

Save the file.
It appears in task view.

Remove the comment, save the file, it dissapears.

Remember:
Build project automatically must be enabled.
Check filtering on tasks.
Check Window->Preferences->Java->Compiler->Task Tags for which tags are used for tasks.

That’s all.

Hi Bastian,

I have found no solution.
