Visual SourceSafe problems

[Lu Battist]

This isn't specific to java but I hope someone can help.
Microsoft isn't exactly java friendly but my workplace uses it for version control. VSS 6.0. I want to use keyword expansions inside my java files like

/*
 * $History: $
 * $Date: $
 * $Author: $
 */
package whatever;
/**
 * javadoc comments
 */
public class FooBared {
...
}

where the date, author, history are supposed to be expanded. I've used the VSS Admin program to add Keyword_Masks = *.java and copy expanded keywords to local files but it still isn't expanding them. I tried 3 spaces between the : and $ and with just 1 as well. Anyone out there who can help?
