Thanks a lot Scott, This is a "must have". I recommend it warmly. Using it with Ctrl+I in Eclipse we will not have to care no more for indentation and tabs in any files (including FTL) I also discovered that Scite has "Strip trailing spaces" feature in Tools menu but with this plugin it's not needed anymore.
