I am such an idiot i figured out what was going on. It was something in my Tasks view that was affecting how the tasks
were showing up.

Please delete this thread. Smile

Thanks!

It does sound like a bug. But maybe you should just do a file search for the
string "TODO"? It's hard to imagine there would be too many false hits.

Works fine for me. Note that you must either have auto-build enabled or
do a build to update the TODOs. If you can still reproduce using 3.6 M4
then please file a bug report against JDT
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=JDT).
