Changing author name in IntelliJ IDEA

I found that change author name in generated files in IntelliJ IDEA is very simple procedure. I am going to show how you can change it.

First of all I want to say that this operation is similar to changing author name in the Eclipse which I described previously.
IntelliJ IDEA doesn’t have eclipse.ini file as Eclipse but it has in Microsoft Windows OS idea.exe.vmoptions file which is located in the directory where you installed IDEA inside folder bin. Just open this file and add this line in the end of file:

-Duser.name=your author name

Example:

idea_name

After this modification start your IDEA and create new class,you should see your author name after @author tag.

For this article I used IntelliJ IDEA 9 Community Edition.

What about IntelliJ IDEA 9 for Linux platform?

There is no idea.exe.vmoptions file in version for Linux,there is idea.vmoptions file.

Was this article useful for you?
