Eclipse author ${user} variable

Here is a small “hack” which can put anything you want in this ${user} variable.

Add one more variable in the eclipse.ini file with the following.

-vmargs 

-Duser.name="your name here..." 

or
Rather than having to change the template manually, add 

-vmargs -Duser.name="your name here" to the shortcut you use to run Eclipse ( by right clicking on it, selecting properties and editing the target input field) :

C:/java/eclipse/eclipse.exe -vmargs -Duser.name="your name here.."
