Re: [tasklist] "Scan files for task..." has disappeared ?

Hi Tor,

I think that looking for pmd rule violations and javadoc errors are
really really great. However looking for a particuliar type of
suggestion would be really great (in my case I was looking only for all
the TODOs). I think that the confirmation panel is a good solution with
the same mechanism of CVS actions :
 	* use of Ctrl keyboard for making appeared the panel
	* use a "Set As Default" options in the panel.

Thanks for your quick answer.

Eric
