I was wondering if one could define their own task tags (special comments like the default "FIXME" or "TODO") in the IDE? The IDE is Eclipse-based, but the preferences' window is not identical. So, the guides for Eclipse, like this one (IDE comment keywords) do not work.
I found it eventually at Window >> Preferences >> C/C++ >> Task Tags.

I'm using netbeans to develop web applications using php and javascript.
I was using eclipse and I could list all my tasks using the //TODO comment.
I don't understand how does it works on netbeans.
So is there a solution to create tasks using comment and how can I access to my task list ?
I have netbeans 7.4 on OSX
Check Tools|Options|Misc.|Action Items, there is a list of comments to IDE should look for in your code. Now open Window|Action Items and it will show all found tasks
In Netbeans 8.0.2 (my current) Action Items list is present in Tools|Options|Team|Action Items. And then, like #ladar said: Window|Action Items.
In NetBeans IDE 8.1 this is still in:
Window | Action Items
or there is the shortcut:
Ctrl + 6
In project you can use not only // TODO comment, but also // FIXME and other.
Full list of the special comments you can find and edit in:
Tools | Options | Team | Action Items
https://netbeans.org/features/ide/
The Action Items window automatically scans your code and lists commented lines containing words such as "TODO" or "FIXME", as well as lines with compilation errors, quick fixes, and style warnings.
Although I have Netbeans 8.0.2, the shortcut "Ctrl+6" may work for you, too.
In one build of eclipse (it is on a computer I no longer have access to), when I typed in a task tag like //TODO or //FIXME eclipse would bold this in the editor so it stood out. How can I turn this functionality on in Eclipse 4.2.2 with PDT?
I found the setting for this under Window-Preferences-PHP-Editor-Syntax Coloring. Strangely, I had to change the PHPDoc option, not the Task Tag option.
tried this many times but I just can't figure out how to define custom tags in Tasks. I used the dialog and created different things like "TODO2" , or "V2" or "TOVO" (just for testing)... but none of these will ever scan into tasks, even though I do things like //TODO2 or //V2 or //TOVO in source code.
I also tried restarting eclipse but that didn't help?
anyone have any ideas how to use this functionality properly?
I want to make a tag I can use for future version TODOs... like for V2 of my program.
Right now I'm just hacking it like this //TODO FUTURE blah ... so that I can quickly see that I should ignore reading this task for now (since I'm only on v1 development)
What dialog did you use to add task tags ? You should go in "Windows -> Preferences", and next "Java -> Compiler -> Task tags". In this dialog you can add task tags. Make sure that your project is using the global task tags (otherwise you must add task tags specific to your project in the project properties dialog).
When you close the preference dialog, Eclipse should recompile your project, and the task view will show the new tags.
add new task tags for java: Windows -> Preferences
Is it possible that to embed Programmers Notepad into Eclipse so it opens in the same window, on right click - history, local .... ?
I would like have in Eclipse the text editor capabilities of Programmers Notepad - such as syntax coloring, etc.
Is this possible?
There is a plugin called EclipseColorer. It has syntax-highlighting for many languages...
Is there a QuickText like (Tab Trigger) plugin for Eclipse?
If I read Tab Triggers of TextMate correctly, especially the part stating:
Tab triggers are also useful when they match program keywords and lead to actions (such as inserting snippets) that do what you would normally do after entering the keyword.
, the closest eclipse feature for that would be Preferences / Java / Editor / Templates
(the difference being that is is triggered not by Tab, but rather by Ctrl+Space...)
The example for instance allows you to insert quite a bit of code after typing only three letters...
