Build Identifier: 20090920-1017 it would be good to have a tagging feature for resources, i.e. if one was looking for a class or file name having something in his mind, he can add tags to that resource to recall it at a later time; not to mixup with "context" feature provided by mylyn. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: enhancement - request
I think you can use Tasks to achieve it. You may add a task in the file content and than find it in the Task view. I don't think we can do more about that in core.resources. Moving back to IDE.

Being at home finally, I have enough time to recall that resource with interesting piece of code, so I just open the searchbox and enter the "multithreading" tag, which will show me the file I tagged in the morn. hope u got my point
This is exactly what bookmarks are for: 1. select the text in the editor (or the file in the Package Explorer) 2. Edit > Add Bookmark... You can then look at them in the Bookmarks view. >indeed, but that would force me to change the file, wouldnt it? No, only if you add Task tags into the code, but you can also add Tasks the same way as just described for bookmarks.
(In reply to comment #5) damn right. how could i overlook it. thank you!!
