Hi Everybody:
When I create a mehtod or class or file in eclipse, how do I tell it to
insert the user's full name not the "Operating System user name" !!

Isn't the user name read from an environment variable?

In the DOS prompt do
C:\>SET <return>

and it will show your variables, is that the name used in Eclipse?
If so, you can do
C:\>SET USERNAME=your desired user name in full here <return>

before starting eclipse??

Modify the Java Code template (in the Preferences) that's used for new
classes, replacing the ${user} variable with the actual name on each
person's installation of Eclipse.

Hope this helps,

I tried this before posting, and it never worked.
I know, logically it should change, but it didn't. I have to go though
each class and each single mehtod, and change the name from the OS user
name to the real name.
I am using Fedora 4.
I dont know if this is a bug. I am hoping to find a way to do this,
before I decided it's a bug.
Thank you.

Well, it is not a variable once the class/method is generated. It is just text in a comment.

However you could use a file search replace.

Yes, which means you can simply pass it in when starting Eclipse - no
need to modify any variable:
eclipse.exe -vmargs -Duser.name="Your Name"
