Sometimes when using the "New file" wizard, choosing <Right-click on Explorer>/New/Java Classes/Main - the __USER__ attribute in the template sometimes instantiates with my login (a 4-digit number) instead of the USER string I have defined in Options/Java Sources/Strings Table (Bryan T. Vold). Most of the time the attribute instantiates correctly, but it this bug happens frequently enough that it is annoying. Also, as a side note, I am creating this file (I have been creating "HelloWorld.java") under a CVS-controlled directory. I have messed around Add'ing the file into CVS, removing it and deleting it. I haven't figured out a way to reproduce it every time.
You got the wrong module.
Sadly I can not reproduce the bug at all. If you find any circumstances leading to the error, please reopen the issue and post the reproduction steps. I have tried to create files from various templates both right after IDE install and during normal work, but everything seems to be OK. Please check whether the String Table property in Tools | Options | Editing | Java Sources contains the proper value -- the bug may be caused by improper (de)serialization of the stringtable.
