for example, at work we use task tags to assign stuff to different people by specifying their username plus a colon. thus i set my task tags to flag occurences of 'alvin:'. the problem is, it doesn't highlight correctly because of the ending ':'. this behavior has been there forever AFAIK; i'm just getting around to bugifying it.
Only JDT Text problem - JDT Core handles the case i.e. creates the task. Christof, this is a low prio item.
Post 3.0 item.
it's post 3.0, so i'm reopening. :)
Still present in 3.1.
The task tag matcher is word matcher and hence doesn't recognize tags with spaces or other special characters. We won't have time to work on this but a high quality patch would be welcome. The relevant code is in org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.text.JavaCommentScanner.TaskTagMatcher.

It would be much easier if the (public) JDT Core scanner would recognize task tags as tokens. This is already in place for the internal scanner but it seems that JDT Core does not want to offer public comment scanning, see bug 22979. WONTFIX unless we get support from JDT Core or a patch.
