[news.eclipse.newcomer] Filters ignored for Tasks and Problems views.

[smn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Simon Mikkelsen)]

Hello

I've just started to use Eclipse on a large Java project, and finds the 
Tasks view really cool: Just type TODO in a comment and never forget it. I 
actually have a template, that will also insert my username and time.

Because the project is so large, there are a lot of TODOs and most of them 
does not concern me. For this reason I would use the filter feature, but 
no matter what I change, it will continue to show all TODOs for the whole 
project - 100 if of 2100...

To be sure, I have tried the absolutely sure thing:
In the Tasks view,
1. Click on the down pointing triangle to the right, select Configure 
contents.
2. Select the TODOs configuration
3. In Scope, select On selected element only
4. In Description select Description contains, and then TODO: initials
5. Press OK
6. Make sure build automatically was on all the time.
7. In Project, select Clean which will clean and rebuild everything.

Still, all TODOs, even those without my initials, are shown. It is like I 
am changing one configuration and another is used for execution, evern 
though all documentation poionts to the way I am doing it.

Does anybody know what might be wrong, in my setup or maby what I do?

Best regards,
Simon from Denmark
