The TODO tasks won’t appear in your MyLyn task list. You have to manually add the MyLyn tasks.

But, TODO task will be automatically shown in Eclipse built-in “Tasks” view. To see this, go to “Window -> Show view -> Others -> General -> Tasks”

My company has set up mylyn with a bugzilla repository for task tracking. I set up task queries and I can create and modify tasks etc.

However, I cannot see any //TODO tasks listed in my task list.

Anybody got any ideas how I might see all my local TODOs?

TIA.

Ideally the Task View window should be updated with the task tags. My suggestions on why it may not be working for you.

1. By default the task tags are *case sensitive*. So, if you have ‘todo’ instead of ‘TODO’, it won’t show up on the task view. So, try with both formats and see if its working (you can change this behavior by going to Windows -> Preferences -> Java -> Compiler -> Task Tags and un- checking the option Case sensitive task tag names.
2. Try closing and re-opening the task view panel (which might re-build the task tags index).
3. Also when you add a new task tag (from the Task tag dialog in preferences) the task tags index will be re-built. So try adding a new dummy task tag (which u can remove later) and see if the task tags are updated.

Hope this helps.

This doesn’t work for me. I have many TODO tags in my code, but my Tasks view is empty.

I am using Helios Service Release 1.

Do you have any idea how I can make this work?

Thanks!
