Don't forget XXX, fix this and a variety of swear words in different languages
I have written two or three apps over the years that parse source code for this and others, but nothing ever satisfying really felt right. If anyone has something perfect do shout.
But does anyone use the task list? I never have, and have never found such a thing necessary. My "task list" consists of the following (in order):
* Compiler errors
* Unit test failures
* Compiler warnings
* FindBugs warnings
* Bug tracker
The IDE already highlights the first four, and for all but #2 it tells me what source line to look at, so I don't see much potential benefit from using the task list.
Having said that I do use XXX tags, but just for the syntax highlighting.
