My take on this is that adding a bookmark for particular line in a source file is brittle as file locations change frequently when editing content. For that reason the context model is based on logical model elements rather than absolute locations. I would recommend using a TODO or FIXME marker in conjunction with landmarking the corresponding Java method to highlight a specific line in a context. Alternatively, code review tools such as Gerrit are a great way to capture a conversation around file content. 

For these reasons I am inclined to mark this bug as wontfix as it is not likely that we would support this within Mylyn. That said, I am happy to support any extensibility required to make this possible through third party extensions (see bug 358554).

Marking as wontfix as per comment 1. Feel free to reopen if you have further input on the request.

Hi,

I would like to have this feature as well. It would be very helpful, making the code readability more programmer-friendly, and would be a nice feature for code maintenance as well. A nice feature to share with team-mates.

Regards,
Marco

Hi,

we realy need this feature. TODO and FIXME are not just part of the Sourcecode! Actually its part of the CSS-Files and HTML-Files.
