Hi Charles, The JDEE is set up to use the Sun coding style by default. The Sun coding style frowns on the use of tab characters in Java source files. The JDEE provides a set of customization options that allow you to specify any coding style that you want. To use these options intelligently, you need to know how CheckStyle works. See the doc for CheckStyle, which is available at http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net. A way to do what you want would be to copy the sun_checks.xml configuration file in the JDEE's JDEROOT/java/lib directory to a location of your choosing, rename it to something like my_checks.xml, and delete the line <module name="TabCharacter"/> from the copy. In effect, you've created your own custom style that differs from the Sun style only in that you allow tabs in source code. Finally, you should customize the jde_checkstyle_style variable to point to my_checks.xml Paul > > Thanks > > -- > > Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign > Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards > and/or writing?
