How do I make the “TODO” tags (// TODO: blah...) appear in the overview ruler for JS in Eclipse?
In Java they are visible, but for JS not.
They are obviously in the “Task Tags” list, and the “Overview ruler” is checked for “Tasks” under “Annotations”.
As with Java, this is handled by the corresponding builder, the “JavaScript Validator” builder (not to be confused with the “Client-Side JavaScript Validator”), operating on the project’s JavaScript Include Path. If it’s not enabled, the file’s not on the include path, or you’re not built, it won’t show. This all assumes you’re using WTP’s JavaScript Developer Tools and not something from Aptana or MyEclipse.
