I'm committing code templates as well. To correctly parse ${user} everybody needs to: Define -Duser.name=(your-user) in your eclipse.ini My eclipse.ini is defined as | -showsplash | org.eclipse.platform | -vmargs | -d64 | -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5 | -XX:MaxPermSize=512m | -Xms512m | -Xmx2048m | -Duser.name=<a href="mailto:clebert.suconic@jboss.org">Clebert Suconic</a> | And it works fine.
