Eclipse Task Management


Management tasks

In Eclipse, use TODO tags to manage tasks. This feature makes it convenient to record tasks that need to be handled in a project.

We can add the TODO word in comments in Java code to mark a task, and tasks can be viewed through the Tasks view.

In Eclipse, we can add a task by right-clicking the vertical ruler and selecting the Add Task menu, then enter the task description in the pop-up dialog.

To delete a task, simply right-click the task icon and select the Remove Task menu item.


Open the Task view

To open the Tasks view:

  • In the Window menu, select Show View > Other
  • Enter Tasks in the search box
  • Under General, select Tasks
  • Finally click the OK button

Use the Task view

The Tasks view displays all pending tasks in the project.

The Tasks view also allows the following operations:

  • Modify the task's bottom-right corner
  • Mark task as completed
  • Delete a task or delete all completed tasks
