Description Rahul Thakur

I have set -Duser.name="Rahul Thakur" via the Eclipse Shortcut on Windows XP, but when I add @author tag in the Class' javadoc comment or let Eclipse generate new Class' javadoc, the username picked up and interpolated is "rahul" which is the current logged user not "Rahul Thakur".
This was working till 3.2M5 (not sure about M5a), but does not seems to work in 3.2M6.

Passing to JDT/UI who does the insertion, suspect this comes from below them.

This works for me using N20060407-0010. Make sure
- you pass in "-Duser.name="Rahul Thakur" as vm arguments
- didn't manually modify the templates

Marking this closed! I was missing a hyphen from the 'vmargs', should have been "-vmargs". Apologise for the noise, it works :">  

Thanks Daniel!
