If I create a comment with FIXME word, it does appear in the User Tasks tab. But if I select another class this User Task dissaperas. Steps to reproduce: - use tasklist module from File section on tasklist.netbeans.org dated 21th September - create two new classes (Test and Test1); make sure both classes are opened - put "// FIXME: something" comment in Test. User task is created. - select Test1 in editor - User Task is deleted - select Test again and the User Task is created again
Sorry about the wrong naming. This report is about Source Tasks not User Tasks.
This feature is supposed to show the tasks in the current source file. So when you're selecting "Test1", you're switching source files. If you had // TODO in file 2, it would show. So in other words, this is precisely as designed. (And by the way, the same way it works in the latest version of Microsoft's IDE.) In the current CVS version of tasklist (available from the NetBeans 4.0 update center I believe, if you're using the development build of NetBeans) you can scan a directory tree (select a direectory in the explorer, go to the Tools menu and select "Scan For Tasks") and it will create a new window showing all the tasks found in all the directories. This list is not kept "live". You can use it to check your project for tasks.
