How do I get my Android TODOs to show up in Tasks in Eclipse?

Question

I have // TODO throughout my .java files and they are detected and labeled as tasks

but they are not listed in the Tasks list. How can I make them show up in the Tasks list? It would make it so much easier to jump from task to task if they were in the Tasks list.

Answer 1

Go to Windows -> Preferences in Eclipse, then navigate to Java -> Compiler -> Task Tags. Verify that the TODO is listed as a tag that indicates a task in Java comments.

If that is configured correctly, then in the Tasks view open the drop down and select Configure contents... to confirm that Java tasks are listed as one of the things to show in the Tasks view.

Answer 2

I only need to save the project (Ctrl + S) and the task shows up :) I think the tasks are someway bound to the save function. Because when you Compile or Build it does a save first :)
