Today I decided to customize the Eclipse’s configuration so having the auto complete feature to correct fill in the @author Java annotation. After looking into few articles and email forums on the internet, figure out that none refers to the Mac OS X Eclipse configuration. The configuration is simple although requires you to make the configuration using VI and Console.
1. Open the console
2. cd /Application/eclipse-<release>/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS
3. vi eclipse.ini
4. include the following line at the end of the file: -Duser.name=<Your Name>
Please notice that <Your Name> should be replaced by your name (Name and Surname space separated is acceptable; no quotes are required)
