How to report TODOs etc. with CruiseConrol?

In one project the use of //TODO, //XXX and //FIXME tags is very common.

The problem is that nobody has an overview of all TODO lines. Only Eclipse shows all tasks in one view.

I would like to display all TODOs with its filename in our daily build report created by CruiseControl.

How can this achieved easily?

+3  A: 

You could write a small script that "grep" for all //TODO tags in your soruce code files and prints a report. This script can then be called from ant so that the build output contains this report.

-1: grep isn't able to distinguish the different locations of TODO tags like eclipse can do it. If you have a string containing your TODO tag somewhere in your code, grep would find it, creating a warning in your report.

I used the word "grep" in a generic way. You could always write your search string such that it ignores such possibilities. For ex. search for only uppercase TODO that start with // etc.

@tangens: is it really often when you have `//TODO` in your Strings literals?

You may be able to use checkstyle. But I'd look into this maven plugin. Maybe you can generate tag reports without migrating your build wholesale from ant.

Perfekt. I will try the checkstyle and the maven plugin. Both seem very nice.
