Netbeans (7.4): Is there a way to highlight TODO's?


I have switched from Eclipse to Netbeans. Eclipse has a way too highlighting TODO's in Java comments like:

public void test(String str) {
  // TODO: check if str is null!
  ...
  ...
}

In Eclipse I could change the editor configuration so that the TODO was printed bold or in another color. Is there a way to set that up in Netbeans?


Solution

  • Sorry, right now there is no way to separate highlighting for TODO. You can only change the highlighting for comments. But that's not what you want.

    In NB 7.4 there is a new way to control tasks (especially bug tasks). You can connect NB with a bug tracking tool like Bugzilla or JIRA.
