The annotations are organized by "tags" which are used for finding them again later. As this was a research prototype, it has lost on development in the past year or so, but it is something that starts to implement what you are looking for: http://tagsea.sf.netDelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18263589361673145166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3193880670773749221.post-41355765548697145642009-07-29T20:48:04.122+02:002009-07-29T20:48:04.122+02:00Right click on your editor, team->show annotati...Right click on your editor, team->show annotations and you get something really similar from a UI perspective. <br /><br />I think pretty much everything is ready in Eclipse to do just that.<br /><br />Moreover, your mockup makes me think such a tooling could greatly ease peer code review.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17900773020510714946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3193880670773749221.post-39260611594924385622009-07-29T20:26:57.950+02:002009-07-29T20:26:57.950+02:00Very cool idea.

(It can be hard enough getting folks to check in all associated source code for a change ;)<br /><br />For Java, we can use annotations to add metadata to declarations, and refactoring tools could pull these along... A smart editor could display the annotations as you suggest. However, this would only work on declarations (you cannot attach annotations to any old statement)Scott Stanchfieldhttp://javadude.comnoreply@blogger.com
