Remove trailing whitespace on saving files [message #1844325]

Many editors and IDEs have the option to remove trailing whitespace from lines upon saving the file. I cannot find any such option in Eclipse. Is this not possible?

Thank you.

But there's no option to do this for all types of files?

(I'm using this mostly for PHP/CSS/JS/HTML, and Python.)
