Option to disable highlighting of TODO comments

When I put a TODO in a comment in a Java file, the Java extension highlights it with a squiggly underline. As I have a dedicated todo-highlighter extension which suits my needs far better, I’d like to disable the underlining of these comments. I’ve looked, but I can’t find anything in the settings to disable this. Could a setting for it be added?

Environment

• Operating System: Windows 10
• JDK version: 11.0.12
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.60.2
• Java extension version: 0.82.0

Steps To Reproduce

1. Add a comment in a Java file, such as // TODO: Something or // FIXME: Something else
2. Observe that a blue underline appears on the comment.

Current Result

Additional Informations

The task tags show an information marker (blue squiggles) so that they’re visible in the problems view, as well as from the scrollbar of an opened file. The nice part is being able to view a list of all “TODO” items in a project.

Right, but the point of this issue is that some users have dedicated TODO extensions like Todo Tree, so they would like to disable the task tag highlighting from this extension (in order to avoid the clutter of duplicate TODO highlights). And since task tags are diagnostics just like errors and warnings, I was thinking maybe eclipse/eclipse.jdt.ls#1765 would provide a code action to disable the task tags.

Agreed. If we can figure out that the property accepts a set of values (as opposed to enabled/disabled), then we can certainly define our “Ignore this option” code action to set it empty.

Given that there is a workaround, and that we’ll make progress on this in https://github.com/eclipse/eclipse.jdt.ls/pull/1765 , I’ll mark this as a duplicate.
