Tasks View

The Tasks view (in the Java perspective) lists all the markers placed in your source code. Markers are reminders that you or Eclipse add to the code to indicate something that needs your attention later. They can be added manually (Edit Add Bookmark… or Edit Add Task…), but more commonly the compiler adds them when it encounters a special comment in your code like this:

	// TODO: Revisit this later

The comment strings TODO, FIXME, and XXX are recognized by default. Add any others that you commonly use in your code to Window Preferences Java Compiler Task Tags.

Table 29 describes the Tasks view toolbar.
