Java – How to enable Task tags (TODO,…) for java

eclipsejavatask

I wanted to use // TODO tags in order to have a Task list.

I'm using Eclipse Helios, I work on a Java project, and the view I openned is "Tasks", not "Task list".
I've checked as well that there is no filter in the "Configure Contents" menu.

But the only Tasks that are listed come from HTML, or JSP files, not my Java classes !

Any ideas ?

PS: Sorry for my english, french people are definitively bad at languages !

Edit: When I write a // TODO task, the flag (the task icon) is well displayed in the left margin.
I've installed the following plugins : M2E, PMD, Subclipse, Google plugin, and the precise eclipse version name is Helios Service Release 2, if it can help.

Final edit : Problem solved ! In fact a related project had build path problems. Using maven, i did not saw it ! All my apologies for such a newbie issue.
Again, thanks for all those who've tried to help me !

Have a look at the preference page Task Tags. Is Enable searching for Task Tags ticked?

Java – How to efficiently iterate over each entry in a Java Map

Map<String, String> map = ...
for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : map.entrySet()) {
    System.out.println(entry.getKey() + "/" + entry.getValue());
}

On Java 10+:

for (var entry : map.entrySet()) {
    System.out.println(entry.getKey() + "/" + entry.getValue());
}

Java – How does the Java ‘for each’ loop work

for (Iterator<String> i = someIterable.iterator(); i.hasNext();) {
    String item = i.next();
    System.out.println(item);
}

Note that if you need to use i.remove(); in your loop, or access the actual iterator in some way, you cannot use the for ( : ) idiom, since the actual iterator is merely inferred.

As was noted by Denis Bueno, this code works for any object that implements the Iterable interface.

Also, if the right-hand side of the for (:) idiom is an array rather than an Iterable object, the internal code uses an int index counter and checks against array.length instead. See the Java Language Specification.
