Manage tasks
Managing tasks with THEDO tags in Eclipse makes it easy to document some of the tasks in your project that need to be processed.
We can mark a task by adding TODO words to the comments in the Java code, which can be viewed through the Tasks view.
In Eclipse we can add tasks by right-clicking the vertical ruler with the mouse and selecting the Add Task menu, entering the task description information in the pop-up dialog box:
If you need to delete a task, simply right-click the task icon to select the Remove Task menu item:
Open the Task view
The Task view opens by:
- Select Show View and Other in the Window menu
- Enter Tasks in the search box
- Select Tasks under General
- Finally, click the OK button

The Task view also does the following:
- Modify the lower right corner of the task
- Mark that the task is complete
- Delete a task or delete all completed tasks
