Task List Screen Shots

User Tasks in NetBeans 5.0 under Linux/KDE:



The following screenshots are taken on my OS X laptop, in 1280x854 resolution (but I narrowed my window a bit so the screenshot wouldn't be too wide). I apologize to those of you running on small-resolution screens since you'll have to scroll to see the full image.

The first screenshots shows the new "suggestions" feature in action. You're editing a source file, and it's telling you that a variable in your source code is unused. So you double click on the suggestion, and you get a confirmation dialog asking you if you really want to delete it.

The next screenshot is similar. Here the java module's background compilation feature has found compiler errors in your source file. In particular, you spelled the class "HashTable" instead of "Hashtable" (no capital T in the middle). The suggestions feature discovers that there is a class with just a different capitalization, and suggests you change your code to use it. By double clicking, you get the following dialog - and pressing Fix makes the substitutions. (By the way, the box around the icon in the suggestions window is highlighting the suggestions that are on the same line as the cursor. That way it's easy to see which errors apply to the code you're looking at.)

This screenshot shows you the portion of the suggestions view which lists "source tasks"; these are tasks you've marked in your source code (by either using the javadoc tag @todo, or using "XXX" or "TODO" or "FIXME" in a comment to mark the line as something you want to revisit). The list of tokens is configurable.
