Eclipse ${user} variable

Submitted by jontto on Thu, 04/02/2009 - 08:53

I've grown tired of changing the template for my Eclipse projects which uses the built in ${user} variable while generating JavaDoc comments. Mostly this variable is not my real name and often not even a proper nick name, so I like to change it to be my real name.

So, by editing the eclipse.ini file and adding a flag

-vmargs
...
-Duser.name=Jonas Granvik

I get this changed and now the ${user} variable is my real name instead of my user name which I logged in to the OS with.
