How do you add code description like Todo's or put a note in the code that is not a comment, i.e. "//" or "/* ... */""? Sorry for the basic question, I forgot the terminology and therefore cant find what it's called online.

You mean like an annotation?

import does.nothing.Todo;

@Todo("Refactor this code")
public class Foo {

}

I don't think the language provides what you are asking for, you must be referring to an ide-specific feature for the TODOs.

I believe you are talking about annotations. There is a stack overflow article here on what annotations are and when to use them.

I believe they are called task tags. It usually depends on your IDE if they are highlighted in the editor, or if there is a special pane which organizes your tasks.

Eclipse uses: TODO, FIXME, XXX (case sensitive)

//TODO
//FIXME
//XXX

IntelliJ uses: todo and fixme (case insensitive) 

//todo
//fixme
