TODO in Ecplise IDE

in Eclipse, no TODO shortcut found; but a possible solution is to create a template so when you write some string and hit Ctrl + spacebar and Enter your TODO code will be entered.
Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Templates -> New
  • Set the Name of the template (e.g. todo)
  • Set the Pattern (e.g. //TODO)
When you type todo and press Ctrl + spacebar and Enter // TODO will be inserted
Such a trivial todo is useless but you can tweak it by using variables as shown in the picture. Use "Insert Variable" button to insert variables.
enter image description here
When you use the pattern shown in the picture following will be inserted:
// TODO inserted by UserName [21. 1. 2015, 13:07:07]
