For many years my code was full of this kind of comments :

//TODO : Add ...
...
/*
 *TODO : Fix ...
 *
 */

Now I think to create my own @todo javadoc annotation ... but before doing that I want to know if do you guys have better way to manage your todo programming stuff ?

Your IDE (Eclipse, NetBeans, ..) has a tasks plugin, which detects all TODOs and shows them in a list. In Eclipse it's Window > Show View > Other > Tasks

No need to write your own annotation.
