TODO as comment
« on: March 12, 2014, 11:40:47 AM »
Hello there,
Is it possible to make TODO comments and list them easily, just like it is in Eclipse or Visual Studio?
Any help would be really aprichiated. example of how it works in visual studio is attached, its called task list.

Microsoft has a patent on this. Otherwise, we would have added this years ago. When the patent expires, we will ship TODO support. I can't believe that Microsoft was able to patent this trivial feature.

Eclipse is free. No way to collect damages. At least that's my guess.

Actually I think SlickEdits Code Annotations is a better approach anyway. I think comments should describe what the code does, not tease about what it might do in the future :-)

I'm not a lawyer and don't know whether damages could be collected.
But certainly legal proceedings could require Eclipse to remove the feature, if indeed it violates a patent.

But since patents cover processes, not results or features, perhaps Eclipse achieves similar results using a different process.
