History
Mai 14, 2005: See what's new
in the
User Tasks module for NetBeans 4.1 (download)
Nov 2, 2004: See what's new
in the
User Tasks module for NetBeans 4.0
Feb 24, 2004: You can express your wishes in following
survey.
Feb 6, 2004: Released NetBeans IDE v3.6 Beta
contains To Do
functionality.
Jan 11, 2004: new
screenshots of the User Tasks module are available
Nov 25, 2003: Published plans
for NetBeans 3.6 tasklist functionality. TODOs are planned to be a part
of standard distribution.
Apr 15, 2003: A new module is available:
tasklist/html. It
integrates JTidy into the suggestions framework, such that when
editing XML, JSP and HTML files you get suggestions such as
<IMG> missing an ALT attribute, unbalanced tags, etc. It
can also
reformat/ reindent/ clean up your HTML/XML files.
Mar 28, 2003: Tim Lebedkov has contributed a "Build
Messages"
module which replaces the standard compiler output window in NetBeans
with a special view listing compiler errors similar to the Suggestions
View.
Mar 15, 2003: The modules have reached beta, and are
available
from the beta update center. The version numbers are "1.0" (and 1.0.x
as
additional bug fixes are applied) for the NetBeans 3.5-branch, and
1.1 for the development branch.
Feb 24, 2003: The "javaparser" module is now part of the
standard tasklist build. The java module now provides hooks for the
tasklist to request parse information, and it uses this to list
compiler errors, as well as provide suggestions which can automatically
fix a range of compiler errors automatically. The module should be
available on the daily alpha update center shortly.
Feb 20, 2003: New property editors contributed by Tim Lebedkov,
for priority, percent complete, and done. Some improved compiler error
fixers too, such as identifying size vs length API mistakes.
Feb 4, 2003: The tasklist project is discussed and some of its developers interviewed in the February issue of Sprout .
Jan 16, 2003: The suggestions feature now includes listing javadoc errors: missing tags, wrong tags, etc. Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2.
Most errors have "auto-fix" actions - for adding/editing tags that is - you still have to write the documentation yourself :)
Jan 5, 2003: The usertask module now has Due date functionality
- contributed by Trond Norbye. See the "Due:" text field and customizer
on the New Task panel.
Dec 15, 2002: I've posted an "issues" document for the
Suggestions window feature. I'd like to get consensus on these issues
so that I can finalize the feature and declare a 1.0 beta. Read the proposal here.
Nov 24, 2002: I've gotten much further along on the Suggestions View ( original proposal here ). More of the suggestions infrastructure is in place, and I've modified the Java module, the PMD NetBeans module,
and the tasklist doc scan module, to use it. Thus you get suggestions
of various types as shown in the screenshot below. I've run into some
usability issues so I'm going to write a letter to nbui soliciting some
opinions before proceeding with this.
Oct 26, 2002: A new feature is available in version 0.8.5: task
scanning recursively through directories. There's a new action (Scan
Files For Tasks...) in the Tools menu which starts it.
Also, the new public APIs for accessing the tasklist are available.
Please review them. I will start implementing these next weekend. You
can build the javadocs from CVS (check out the tasklist module, cd into
api/ and type ant javadoc), or just browse them online.
Sep 28, 2002: Search/Filtering now available. You can see a screenshot and read its online documentation here. The code is available in version 0.8.2, both for 4.0 (trunk) and the 3.4 branch.
Sep 21, 2002: Three new feature proposals:
Sep 9, 2002: There have been a number of updates lately.
Pretty much everything should work. There are some new features, like
browsable tasklists, more user options, enhanced editor source
scanning, improved HTML export, native iCalendar format, etc. This
version is available on the 4.0 Alpha Auto Update Center.
There are two new developers on the project: Tim Lebedkov and Trond Norbye.
To try the latest version, download the .zip file and unzip it at the top of your NetBeans installation, or in your user directory.
July 19, 2002: There are some new features in the trunk (if you
are willing to put up with bugs) : export to HTML, automatic scanning
of source files which adds tasks marked with XXX/TODO/FIXME etc.
(configurable as a regular expression under global options), and a
buglist which is synchronized with Issuezilla. To use it, determine
your query (using the www.netbeans.org issuezilla interface, and add
the resulting URL to your runide parameters as follows: -J-Dnetbeans.tasklist.bugquery="your url"
June 26, 2002: UI Proposal published. Please provide feedback on dev@tasklist.netbeans.org.
