"private" comments in Eclipse

I would like to write "private" comments in Eclipse while working on Java projects. In other words, I would like to write comments related to scopes in Java classes that only I can see, but other developers working on the project cannot. Therefore, comments cannot be regular comments in the source code. Ideally, I would select an area in a Java source file and have a perspective view that allows me to write and read my comments related to the selected area. These comments must be stored in file (s) outside of the project's Java source files.

I understand that as other developers modify the Java code, my comments may become outdated and I will eventually have to work to alleviate this problem. I'm not worried about persistence either.

How do I handle the Eclipse part in the call, i.e. to create my own view in / to which I can write / read comments and associate it with locations in the source files? Or can I display comment lines in source files that are not saved with the source so that they are "private"?

This is similar to what you can already do with the Bookmarks view, except that the textual representation in the view itself is rather limited.
