It's a quite simple question, but I can't find an answer to it using SO-Search and Google.
Is it possible to override the default $user
VTL-variable used in file-templates globally, instead of setting it in each template with #set($user = "...")
?
Like some sort of setup-script for IntelliJ itself, where I can alter the value?
Thanks in advance.
By the way, I'm using IntelliJ Ultimate 12.1.6.
You want to modify the IntelliJ's .vmoptions
file(s) in a text editor.
- In Windows, edit
IntelliJ-Install-Location/bin/idea.exe.vmoptions
and/or IntelliJ-Install-Location/bin/idea64.exe.vmoptions
.
- In Mac OS X, edit
IntelliJ-Install-App.app/Contents/bin/idea.vmoptions
.
Within these files simply add or modify the following line:
-Duser.name=Your name
If you recognize this syntax, that's because Intellij IDEA uses the Java System Property user.name
to fill $user
and ${USER}
.
