Eclipse automatically creates a task list when you write comments like  
this in your ruby code.

# TODO: fix this

The task list is supposed to be updated when the file is saved, but for  
me it is only updated when Eclipse loads. Am i missing something?

I am using Eclipse 3.1.1 and RDT 0.8.0.

Are you sure that it’s not

# @todo: fix this

I don’t have my eclipse handy so I can’t check. Maybe it’s also a  
Ruby plugin related issue. Does it work for Java source code?

TODO’s update for me on save. I’m using Eclipse 3.1.2 and RDT 0.7. Maybe  
update Eclipse…

Apparently this bug has been reported before to Eclipse, but their  
developers have not been able to reproduce it and have closed the bug  
report without making a code change.
