Description tkellerer 2007-04-06 11:05:26 UTC 
In NB 5.5 one could assign a value to the ${user} macro that is used in
Templates (Tools->Template Manager). This was available in the advanced options
under "Java sources". 

This node is now gone in NB 6.0 and I cannot find any property to define the
name used for the ${user} macro.

Reassigning to Editor - Options for evaluation.

There have been some changes in the way how templates are implemented in Nb6 and
perhaps this was somehow addressed by the new framework. I don't have the IZ #
handy, but it's java anyway.
Comment 3 Jan Pokorsky 2007-04-10 13:09:57 UTC 
Right, java templates were migrated to the new scripting support. I cannot agree
it relates to java.

Nowadays the ${user} is supplied by the openide/loaders module that reads it
from the system property user.name. So using -J-Duser.name=YourName is the only
way to customize it AFAIK.

I am not aware of any plans for template attributes UI. Reassigning to openide
that exports the attribute.
