Description Ch Nguyen 2005-01-26 23:47:51 UTC
We need a way to provide the following
customization to the tasklist module without
directly modifying tasklist source:
. On the Tasklist window area, the priority column
should be shown as default and positioned in the
leftmost column.
. The default list of tokens should include the
lowercase versions (e.g. todo, not just TODO)
. also include the .net standards including HACK
and UNDONE (also in both lower and upper case).

Also, can the current NB 4.0 / 4.1 tasklist allow
to add arbitrary user tasks?  If not, is it
possible to enable this and how?

It should be possible to override
org/netbeans/modules/tasklist/docscan/sourcetasks_columns.xml using NB
branding mechanism

Don't know how to to this without changing the code.

There is another module that do this: tasklist/usertasks. It is on the
beta autoupdate server.
