Task priorities in Eclipse

eclipse todo

I know two ways to create tasks using Eclipse; with the tasks view or with the TODO annotation in a comment:

//TODO: wtf? Rewrite it using constants.
int foo = 3.1 * 3;

If I use the first way, I can edit tasks and set the "priority".

Can I do it for tasks that I create using TODO annotation?

I know that with FIXME priority is set to High, while with TODO is set to Normal. This is configurable too: inside Window > Properties search for "Task tags".
