Hi,

Does anyone have some sample code they'd be willing to share about how to implement task tag support for an Xtext editor (things like TODO/FIXME etc.)?

Thank you for any help.

I haven't got code for that, but you might draw some (or rather: a lot of Very Happy

) inspiration from XtendTools ( http://fornax.itemis.de/confluence/display/fornax/Xtend+Tool s) and most notably its source. XtendTools basically uses a new Xtext-grammar for Xtend which is also aware of Javadoc-style comments. After parsing, the information is used to generate documentation from.

I'd go the same way for Xtext: look at the part of the grammar for XtendTools which does the comments parsing and simply nick the official (semantic bit of the) Xtext grammar from the Xtext plugins. You have to take care of overlapping extensions (.xtext) somehow but that should be covered in XtendTools as well.

Xtext 2.0 has support for javadoc like comments. Have a look at the
sources from HEAD to at least catch the idea how to access the contents
of comments without having to store it in the EMF model. A good start
should be
/org.eclipse.xtext/src/org/eclipse/xtext/documentation/impl/ MultiLineCommentDocumentationProvider.java

For the UI side, there should be some Eclipse resource out ther. Google
is your friend :-)
