How to get eclipse Tag List Programmatically using a plugin

I am a noob to the Eclipse Plugin Development , and I am doing my 1st project.

I need to get the list of tag messages (TODO,FIXME, ... etc) in PRE_BUILD event. I went through the org.eclipse.ui.views.tasklist package, but I wasn't able find a way to do this.

These are IMarker objects, in particular markers with the type IMarker.TASK for TODO...

Markers belong to IResource objects (IFile, IFolder, ...)

You can use the IResource

public IMarker[] findMarkers(String type, boolean includeSubtypes, int depth)

method to find all markers on a resource.

So, for example, if you have an IProject you can use

IMarker[] markers = project.findMarkers(IMarker.TASK, true, IResource.DEPTH_INFINITE);

to get all the task markers for resources in the project.
