I would like to see either "@todo" javadoc elements or // TODO: line comments appear as tasks in the taskbar. Or even better, let the user specify the string (e.g, "XXXX") which will be considered as a task in the code, like below: //XXXX: This is my xxxx task or in javadoc (less preferable, this will cause javadoc to produce warnings) @xxxx this is my xxxx javadoc task
Not for 2.0.
please leave it open, so it won't be forgotten. Thanks
It is not closed, simply tagged as -> LATER for further consideration.
It would be nice if I could call attention to a specific developer, like: @Eric clean this up now. Does Eclipse know who the user is? A strange side-effect would be that changing the user for this feature would cause a re-compile? Or, you could just remember all @Developers tasks, and filter based on the current developer selected.
Resurrecting. I am leaning towards a simple solution: @todo tag, and no user support.
When this feature is implemented, please route to code assist to take advantage. For example, any time code assist inserts a method stub, it should add a @todo item telling me to implement that method. when "Override method(s)" is finally fixed so that it inserts the stubs in their correct alphabetical order, you can imagine that it would be hard to jump around and remember all of the additions you just caused. Placing @todos will make this navigation possible. It would also be nice if deleting the Task from the task list removed the @todo tag.
Sounds like nice suggestions, will route them to jdt/ui. Now, for the todo I will make it user configurable through some option, so that a random tag can be used (and checked in any comment).
Fixed.
See bug 23145 for UI implications. Here is the description of the added support: Compiler can now optionally collect TODO tasks from the source code. Occurrences of a TODO tag are looked for inside any type of comments, and reported along with problems. New problem ID got created: org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.IProblem#ToDo. JavaCore option added to control the severity of TODO reports (ignore/warning/error). * COMPILER / Reporting occurrences of TODO tags in comments * When enabled, the compiler will issue an error or a warning whenever it encounters * a TODO tag inside any comment. The tag value itself is defined by the option * "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.todoTag". * - option id: "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.todo" * - possible values: { "error", "warning", "ignore" } * - default: "warning" JavaCore option added for specifying the TODO tag value (default is "TODO:"). * COMPILER / Define the TODO task tag * Define the tag used to recognize TODO tasks in comments. * - option id: "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.todoTag" * - possible values: "" where is a non-empty string, without any wild-card. * - default: "TODO:"
By customizing the todo tag, one could achieve user selective TODO tasks detection. TODO:(BOB) add spec could be found exclusively using tag "TODO:(BOB)".
Default for TODO severity should read IGNORE (not warning).
Verified.
