The CVS FAQ (

"
How can I change the linefeed delimiter on Windows to be the *nix linefeed?
[I] Found a work around without any code changes by invoking eclipse with
this:
eclipse.exe -vmargs -Dline.separator=\n
This overrode the JVM's platform line delimiter. It works but [I] don't
[k]no[w] if there [are] any ill side affects. But [this] does help for those
windows users using eclipse with samba and [who] want *nix style linefeeds.
"
This is great, but it doesn't work. When I create a new Java class, for
example, it looks like this (all on one line, with the \n's visible):
"

*/\npublic class Test {\n \ n \ n }\n
"
I think those command-line arguments may have worked in a previous Eclipse
version, but don't now. Is there a way to control the writing of
end-of-line characters that works in 2.1/3.0? Can the \n be escaped somehow
on the command line? Why isn't this a Preference in Eclipse as it is in any
reasonably sophisticated programmer's editor?
Also, this should obviously be removed from that FAQ document, unless
somehow it is only me for whom this doesn't work.
