For JavaScript tasks, you need to have JavaScript enabled on your 
project (use its Configure context menu if it is not a Static or 
Dynamic Web project to do so) and add the folders where you have 
JavaScript files onto the JavaScript Libraries property page of the 
project (Properties from the project's context menu, or use the 
Project menu from the menubar at the top of the workbench window). 
The matching Task Tags preference page is in the 
Web/JavaScript/Validation category, and they're discovered through 
normal workspace building.

HTML and CSS make use of the Task Tags preference page under the 
Structured text Editors category; turning it on is all you need to 
do there, but it's disabled because it can be slow to process the 
entire workspace.  This page covers XML, DTD, and JSP files as well, 
if you have them.
