Functionality planned for Barracuda release

Abstract

This paper defines high level goals for tasklist module functionality integration into Barracuda release.

Supported Use Case

You write a code and decide to keep focused and defer some task leaving a recognizeable note in source code. After some time you want to navigate to these notes and resolve them. The resolution task can be based on listing all notes in project or listing notes for active document.

Unsupported Use Cases

Code analysis tools (PMD, compiler, i18n checker, HTML checker, copyright checker, unused imports checker, ...) create virtual notes. You can navigate though these and some of them have Autofix action performing default problem solution.
It's a concept that should be consistently supported by all relevant IDE analysers (now user actions). It's too expensive right now.

Bug database adapter creates virtual notes corresponding to bugs filled against developed code. You can navigate through them and mark selected ones as fixed.
Defer and try to solve as coupled task with version control operations related to the fix.

Calendar support which lets you record your own todo list independet from source code (however a source info can be optionally attached).
It duplicates calendaring application and it is not significantly tied to code developing workflow. To be really usefull it should bridge to Issuezilla TASKs etc.
