Almost two years in and this is still an issue in Eclipse 3.7. Sad! But anyway thanks alot for figuring this out.
The linux location for this depends on where you installed eclipse. I have eclipse.ini files at these locations:
/etc/eclipse.ini
/opt/Eclipse3.6/eclipse.ini
/opt/Eclipse3.7/eclipse.ini
/usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse.ini

A simple # locate eclipse.ini should do it if your locate_db is up to date.

@Sumin:

Thanks, Mac user here. That helped a lot.

It’s dumb that eclipse doesn’t offer a simple option in the IDE to set the javadoc user name, though.

Thanks a lot! I’m a Mac user so I had to edit eclipse.ini within the Eclipse.app package. Good thing is that the Eclipse.app package is not code signed

Is that true? Can you name any plugins for which this is known?

Thanks

Have any plugin that relies on user.name being your username, and presto! It will break.
