Description paulomobr CLA 2003-03-13 21:50:42 EST
When I create a comment in the souce code that has TODO as a substring, such as
PROJETODOC for example, a new task is generated. This is rather anoying, because
this substring is very common in some languages (portuguese, spanish, maybe
others). I guess the expected behavior here is to create a task automatically
only when TODO is a whole word, not when it is a substring of another word.

You can control this using:
Window->Preferences->Java->Task Tags

Ok to close?

Thank you for the tip Jerome, sorry I didnĀ“t notice the new preferences item. I
guess I just got scared with the dozens of new tasks that appeared in my project
when I upgraded.
