Java Sources Strings table
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">My Java Sources strings are not being expanded correctly in new source files.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">In my project, I have changed the value of the "USER" string to my full name and defined a new string, "EMAIL". Several times I have created a new Java class (using the Class template) and the strings have not been expanded correctly. I have edited the template so the author tag reads "@author __USER__, __EMAIL__". __USER__ has been expanded to my default Windows user name, and __EMAIL__ has not been expanded at all. So I have gone to the Options dialog to check my settings, and sure enough, there they are. Then I have created another class the same way to make sure I'm not going crazy, and the strings have been correctly expanded. As I said, I've gone through this several times.</FONT></P>

I think these substitutions are project-specific, perhaps you have been
creating new projects?

<P><FONT SIZE=2>What I described is within one project. So, the first time (after a restart?) that I create a new class from the Class template, it looks like it uses the default substitutions (the global values?). I can see that the settings for the current project have been modified (by looking in the Options dialog). Then when I create another class, I get the correct substitutions.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>...Ok. I just did a little experiment. I hadn't created a new class today since starting NetBeans (current set up: Windows NT, JDK 1.4.1beta, NetBeans 3.4RC1). I created Test1.java (I always use right-click->New->Java Classes->Class in Explorer for this). Wrong substitutions. Next I created Test2.java. Wrong substitutions. Next I opened the Options dialog and created Test3.java. Wrong substitutions. Next I selected the Editing->Java Sources node. At this point, I can partially see my settings in the right side of the Options dialog. I created Test4.java. Correct substitutions. As I create more classes, the substitutions continue to be correct.</FONT></P>

Definitely a bug. I can't reproduce it though; the substs work fine for
me after a restart without opening Options. I suggest you file a bug,
but you may need to provide really explicit steps to reproduce: starting
with a fresh user directory and walking through every step.
