Eclipse: convert tabs to spaces
If you recently upgraded from Eclipse 3.0x to 3.1x (as I have) and enjoy using spaces instead of tabs (as I do) then you might have discovered (as I have) that the option appears to have vanished from editor settings in preferences.
It took me a while (about 5 annoying minutes) to find it..
Window->Preferences
Java->Code Style->Formatter
Hit "edit"
Under "General Settings" uncheck "use tab character"
Apply.
If you were using the default formatter, it will ask you to save it as a new one.
That was obvious, wasn't it?
Comments
Now tell me how to make Eclipse trim trailing spaces at the end of lines (or spaces on a blank line) and I'll be VERY happy!
