Howto use my email address rather than my login ID as the author in Java templates? [message #630007]

Eclipse User

By default the template for a new class includes the @author tag with the
value ${user}. I would rather that it would include my email address but
I do not want to have to go through each template changing ${user} to the
address, rather I would like to define either a new variable (and give it
a value) or even better change the value of the ${user} variable to be
my email address rather than my login ID.

How can I achieve this?

Maybe you can set the user property when starting up eclipse?
-Duser=pwebster@ca.ibm.com

See
http://help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/runtime-options.html
for how you can use runtime options in eclipse.
