In "Preference -> General -> Editors -> Text Editors -> Annotations" preference page, there is a list of various annotation types, among which is an entry "Tasks", which visualizes task tags from JDT and other plugins. I suggest splitting this "Tasks" entry into 3, according to priority of task tags. That is "Tasks of Low/Normal/High priority". The motivation is that task tags with different priority should be assigned with different visual effect. For example, I may want to High priority tasks shown as red in overview ruler, Normal priority tasks shown as blue, and Low priority tasks not shown at all. This mechanic helps focus on important tasks, and ignoring trivial ones.
Would you also expect different images?
(In reply to Dani Megert from comment #1) > Would you also expect different images? I assume you mean the image in the vertical ruler before the line containing task tags. When I reflect, I found myself don't notice it much. I think the reason is that the vertical ruler only shows images come from on-screen parts of text, and I adjusted syntax coloring of task tag text to be more noticable than their images. So, as a reference for you to consider, the personal answer is no. However during reflection I also noticed another thing: The syntax coloring of task tags is in one style, despite priority. Maybe the task tag syntax coloring style in java editor(and other similar editors) should be separated by priority too?
