Hi;
On a WinXP platform, with Eclipse 3.0.1, although I have my Regional
settings set to US, the automatic ${date} that gets inserted in my code
is European format.
I have searched thru the preferences and failed to find where I can
adjust this to get the US format.
Please advise;
Thank you;

Yes.

Hey. Never noticed that since I use a per-locale formatter in my code.
You are correct though, that this line of code returns European style
for me.

It's the million dollar question. Where? My XP Region is set to US.
I might have to resort to start Eclipse with a jvm parameter to set
locale, but hesitate to do so, because portions of my code is locale
specific, and I don't want the jvm parameter to 'confuse' the code.
Hopefully this fear is unfounded, and since I do not know what's causing
the Euro style date (maybe a hangover of a Windozzz crash), I should
just set the Eclipse's startup jvm's locale?

You can use the '-nl' parameter to the Eclipse executable. See
Help/Workbench User Guide/Tasks/Running Eclipse. E.g. with the Dutch
locale nl_NL:
"C:\Program Files\Eclipse\eclipse.3.0.1\eclipse\eclipse.exe" -nl nl_NL
-vm "C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2\bin\javaw.exe" -vmargs -Xmx192m
This produced the following date comment in a newly created class:
/**
* <code>DateLocaleTest</code>
* @author SmithZ
* @created 11-jan-2005
*/
Using '-nl en_US', it produced:
/**
* <code>DateLocaleTest2</code>
* @author SmithZ
* @created Jan 11, 2005
*/
In 'Help/About Eclipse Platform/Configuration details' you can verify
the locale used by the JVM. Even with the parameter '-nl nl_NL' I see
user.country=US
user.language=en
but also
osgi.nl=nl_NL

The -nl did the trick. However, my concern is that strings within my
sources that are *not* en_US, should not become confused.
I would much rather prefer a simple setting in preferences for the date
format of dates inserted in my source.
Also, a little peculiar thing. Before I set it to en_US, the date was
Euro format, but with numbers (Jan 10 was 10/1/2005), now it is indeed
set to US, but not numbers, rather Jan 10, 2005 string. Just wondering...
Thanks;
