I dislike the default Javadocs generated for me when I create a Class or methods, especially the @author variable, which is the current system username on my windows box.
I would like to change it. Is this possible?
Yeah I know about that, but unfortunately this does not seem to have any effect on the code generation for Classes.I want to avoid having to do this manually

A:
Check Preferences / Java / Code Style / Code Template
Section Comment / Type
You can replace the author tag by whatever value you need and it will have an effect on new generated classes.
However, if the template is fine, but the value referenced buy the author tag is not, see this SO question:
${user} uses the value of the user.name environment variable; therefore, you can pass -Duser.name=My Name in eclipse.ini to override it.
Or, if you prefer, you can modify the shortcut to point to:
C:/java/eclipse/eclipse.exe -vmargs -Duser.name="cleverUserNameToUseInSourceCode"

@Paul: after that meme revealed itself as "mandatory" (http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/19478/the-many-memes-of-meta/19775#19775), I had to use FSCapture (http://www.faststone.org/FSCaptureDetail.htm) to comply ;)
