Thanks

Many modern programming editors allow whitespace characters to be displayed
visibly, e.g., with dots for spaces, right-arrows for tabs, left-arrows for
linefeeds. This is very helpful when trying to match existing code styles
(tabs vs. spaces), as well as when working in languages such as XML where
whitespace is sometimes literally interpreted.

I don't know how to get Eclipse to do that. Does the feature even exist?
