Eclipse Task Tags

I am having trouble using Task tags. The issue is that there are several pre-existing libraries included in the PHP project which are from other authors. I have a total of around 100 @todo and FIXME tags, however Eclipse refuses to let me delete (greyed out).

I have tried removing these tags from the Task Tag editor, restarting Eclipse etc but it will not forget them.

Deleting from the code is impractical - if I need to update or re-install libraries I'll have to remove them all each time.

Following Jonathan David Arndt helpful advise I've attached the screen shot showing TODO unchecked but Eclipse still shows thementer image description here

I use the Task tags in Eclipse, and third-party libraries with TODO and FIXME tags also bother me.

The solution depends in part on how your code environment and individual projects are setup. With Java, it's easy, since third-party code is separated into different projects. With PHP, third-party code might be in a separate project, but you might have it nested in your project for convenience.

In any case, on the Eclipse Tasks tab, in the upper-right corner, there is a little upside-down caret. Click on "Configure Contents..."

From there, you can filter out elements based on where they are located, what text they contain, and several other helpful criteria.
