Description of problem: It would be nice if we could somehow auto-fill the full name for ChangeLog preferences. In C one could use getpw but there does not appear to be a Java equivalent. Perhaps there's something in the Eclipse APIs? I guess we could always wrap getpw in eclipse-changelog itself but then we'd have native dependencies and it'd be a PITA.
Note that eclipse platform could use this too -- to put the full name in the @author tag in a file.
