Find TODO tags in Eclipse

Question

When I used Eclipse to add unimplemented methods to a Java class to fix an error, methods were auto-generated and include // TODO Auto-generated method stub

Answer 1

Is there an easy way to view all methods which contain this comment? Some sort of menu option?

Yes, choose one of the following:

1. Go to Window → Show View → Tasks (Not TaskList). The new view will show up where the "Console" and "Problems" tabs are by default.

2. As mentioned elsewhere, you can see them next to the scroll bar as little blue rectangles if you have the source file in question open.

3. If you just want the // TODO Auto-generated method stub messages (rather than all // TODO messages) you should use the search function (Ctrl-F for ones in this file Search → Java Search → Search string for the ability to specify this workspace, that file, this project, etc.)
