I want to setup company wide customization for several jde variables. This works fine for most vars, however for vars depending on the user name it doesn't. The jde-run-option-properties contains strings with 'richard' hard-coded. Since quote is used, this is not easy to replace with 'user. I don't have enough lisp knowledge to solve this problem... '(jde-run-option-properties (quote (("java.security.policy" . "/home/richard/src/acriter/policy.all") ("java.rmi.server.codebase" . "http://gravity/classes/") ("java.rmi.server.logCalls" . "false") ("sun.rmi.transport.logLevel" . "0") ("sun.rmi.dgc.logLevel" . "0") ("sun.rmi.server.logLevel" . "0") ("sun.rmi.loader.logLevel" . "0") ("com.acriter.vase.forceLocal" . "true") ("com.acriter.vase.swi.baseDir" . "/var/spool/java/richard/bms") ("com.acriter.vase.swi.database.adapter" . "com.acriter.vase.swi.ddb.OracleAdapter") ("com.acriter.vase.swi.database.url" . "jdbc:oracle:thin:@thefridge:1521:DEV") ("com.acriter.vase.swi.database.userName" . "richard") ("com.acriter.vase.swi.database.password" . "acriter") ("com.acriter.vase.swi.modulesfile" . "bms.modules") ("java.compiler" . "NONE") any help appreciated. -- <--+-Richard den Adel-=
