It can scan comments only, but that's not the default behavior.
(Somebody argued earlier on, on nbui I think when we had our UI
review, that they like to do something like this and want it
to show up:
   int mystub() {
     System.out.println("TODO! Implement mystub");
   }
and if we default to scanning comments only we wont catch it.

But I'm starting to think that we should only scan comments.
We got another bug filed a while ago too for a similar reason
(Somebody had PENDING as a constant in their Java code so
it showed up).

You can switch it to comments-only scanning in the Options
dialog - look for the tasklist icon on the left; there should
be one node for user task options and one for editor 
tasklist/scanning.

By the way, it scans only comments for recognized file types.
For file types it doesn't recognize, it will scan all the text.
