Changing the default ${filecomment} tag in 3.1 [message #211008]

I used to be able to very easily change the default filecomment to include
my copyright notice automatically in new files. Now in 3.1 I can't seem to
find this. I know it is a workspace-specific setting, but where can I
change it?

Also, can I copy settings from one workspace to another?

Thanks,
Chuck

Go to Window>Preferences>Java>Code Style>Code Templates>Comments>Files.
This should be what you are looking for.

Olivier,

That's not what I'm looking for. I've been there (Window -> Preferences ->
Java -> Code Style -> Code Templates -> Code -> New java file) and this is
the setting:

${filecomment}
${package_declaration}

${typecomment}
${type_declaration}

I need to know how to change the text that gets substituted for
${filecomment}

Thanks in advance,
Chuck

That's exactly how Olivier has replied you (please quote relevant
parts from the posts you're replying to). You should found it is
like that if you have tried it by now.

filecomment is replaced by the code template
Window>Preferences>Java>Code Style>Code Templates>Comments>Files

I found that out after I exported all of the templates :-)

But it showed up in my new classes after I chose "Generate comments" in
the new Java class wizard.

Paul,

Thanks, that made it clear. BTW, there is nothing in the documentation
that connects the Code Templates -> Comments -> File to the $(filecomment}
variable.

Regards,
Chuck
