Change Default Author Name for JavaDocs in Eclipse

Adam Presley — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 19:45:43 +0000

Here is a quick way to change the default author name when using JavaDoc comments in your Eclipse projects. Simply edit your eclipse.ini file found in the root directory where you placed Eclipse. I have Eclipse at /opt/eclipse, so my path would be /opt/eclipse/eclipse.ini. Once editing this file add the following line and save.

-Duser.name=Adam Presley

After saving restart Eclipse and when you do a JavaDoc comment and use the author attribute by typing @author and pressing enter on the autocomplete you will see something like this:

/**
 * Alert some message!
 * @author Adam Presley
 */
function alertSomething(msg) { alert(msg); }

Simple yet useful. Happy coding!

ColdFusion Builder Performance

Adam Presley — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:22:14 +0000

I don’t know about you guys, but I run into horrible performance issues as I use ColdFusion Builder, or most other Eclipse-based IDEs, as I use them more over time, add more projects, etc… After researching I’ve got a set of settings now that help a bit. These settings make garbage collection more aggressive, which is proving decent.

To modify your CF Builder settings you need to open your CFBuilder.ini file. In Windows this is located at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe ColdFusion Builder by default. If you open that up you can setup the parameters the Java Virtual Machine will run with for Eclipse. Here is what I use. Maybe someone will find it useful.

Here’s a link to David Salter’s site that talks about some settings you can modify in your eclipse.ini file in Windows to help make Eclipse a bit more palatable for everyday use. Visit his site at http://davidsalter.co.uk/blog/?p=332.
