I just found the wonderful command Ctrl+I in Eclipse 3.2. A must to correct
indentation and transform tabs to spaces after having
set like indicated below.
Is somebody aware of a command/tool in Eclipse (or even off) able to get rid of
useless spaces and tabs at end of lines ?
Thanks
Jacques

Subject: Spaces for tabs
Hi all,
Willing to ease this redundant Spaces for Tabs format problem here is a text I
propose to put in
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/OFBiz+Contributors+Best+Practices
mixing informations from
http://groups.csail.mit.edu/uid/wiki/index.php?title=Getting_Started#Configure_Your_Development_Environment
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GMOxDEV/Developing+Geronimo+in+Eclipse
http://www.opensourcestrategies.com/ofbiz/ofbiz_eclipse.php
here are some updated help to allow using spaces in place of tabs in source
files in Eclipse 3.
<<
We don't want tab characters in text files in SVN, because different editors
and tools interpret tabs differently. All indentation
should be done purely with spaces.
To change tabs to spaces in Eclipse, change these preferences in Window ->
Preferences ->
1. Java -> Code Style -> Code Formatter -> Show... -> Java Conventions [built-in]
-> Indentation, select Tab policy as "space
only". Enter a new name for this profile and click "OK".
2. Java -> Editor -> Typing, and check "Insert spaces for tab".
3. Ant -> Editor -> Formatter, and uncheck "Use tab character instead of
spaces".
4. If you installed Colorer, Colorer Library Editor -> Uses spaces instead
of tabs.
5. If you installed XML Buddy, XMLBuddy -> Formatting -> Uses spaces
instead of tabs.
6. Unfortunaltely neither of the 2 main FreeMarker pluggin have similar
functionnality yet. So for FTL files you have to do
that
manually with an external editor.
For point 6 I'm not sure if there is not a better way to do that in Eclipse 3, any idea ?
If some have time and experience maybe we could do the same thing for at least
NetBeans ?
BTW, it seems that groups.csail.mit.edu has a way to avoid finding tabs in source
files : "Our Subversion repository will
actually
reject commits that include tabs in text files, so you'd better fix this now, or
face pain later.". Could that possible in Apache
SVN ?
