I don't think this was a matter of tabs and spaces, from what I can tell by
visually inspecting Marc's commit it looks like the changes were whitespace
around variables or casts. For example :

(ClassLoader)AccessController. . .
(ClassLoader) AccessController. . .

Which I didn't think to look at when I committed Albert's changes. I didn't
bring them up in Eclipse and run it's formatter on them though.

I've been using Eclipse and what I generally do is create my own formatter,
based on either Eclipse's conventions or Sun's. The only changes I make are
to always use spaces. The rest of the defaults match our conventions as far
as I know. I did go out and check for whitespace like the example above and
it looks like if I had run the formatter it would have corrected it.

Sorry guys, and thanks for catching it Marc

Whenever I need to make code formatted by Eclipse 'edible' for Apache, I
just run it through
sed to change the tabs to spaces:

sed -i -e "s/\t/    /g" filename.java

Or, if I want to change lots of programs and don't feel like fixing them
one at a time:

sed -i -e 's/\t/    /g" `find . -name *.java`

There may be a better way, but I didn't bother to find it.
