Where in JDT is task tag support implemented? [message #650427]

Hi,

I would like to implement task tag support for my editor. Like, capture // TODO: blah blah and show it in the task view pane.

I looked at the implementation of the TaskPropertiesDialog (class that implements Edit -> Add task...) to get some initial ideas.

I want to know where in the JDT plugin code is the feature of task tag support is implemented? Can someone point me to the correct .java files (and their location in the heirarchy)?

The trick will be to go add some sort of a listener / document updater to a resource. When the user presses Save, this update gets called. It extracts all the comments with the TODO/FIXME/XXX etc tags and creates/updates tasks for them (if not already created).

Thank you for any ideas / help.

There's a method called on your editor when it gets saved. At that point
simply parse the document and updated the task list.
