TagSEA 0.6.6

Tags for Software Engineering Activities in Eclipse


Tag locations of interest in your source code.

TagSEA is a framework for tagging locations of interest within Eclipse. TagSEA combines ideas from social bookmarking (tagging) and geographic navigation (waypointing) aiming to make finding information easier.


TagSEA allows you to:

  • Tag locations of interest with keywords
  • Add date and author metadata
  • Filter your tags
  • Navigate back to places you've tagged
  • Create shared tags stored in the code or private tags stored in the workspace
  • Create presentations that combine source code, slides, etc.

Tag the following:

  • Java, C, and C++ source code
  • Breakpoints
  • Tasks (e.g. TODO)
  • Resources
