questions: new to eclipse, looking for old familiarities [message #115331] Mon, 10 November 2003 08:20

I'm looking in eclipse to find some old common traits i've come to
expect in IDEs. Hopefully these exist?

1. tabs/indents. like most people, i have indents set at 4 spaces. in
most IDEs i've seen, i've had the ability to convert 8 spaces into hard
tabs. eclipse seems to not have this ability- i seem to only get all
spaces, or indents replaced by hard tabs (which looks bad in normal text
editors). is there a way to do this?

2. a really minor issue, but it seems that Source>Format drops and
indents anything within an if block even if there's no parentheses. meaning:
if (true) doThis();
gets converted to:
if (true)
doThis();
there's no way to get around that, is there?

3. whenever i create a new class, it creates info-level tasks saying
that the first few lines don't include a comment saying "all rights
reserved, Sourcecode is licensed under Mozilla Public License 1.1". Why
exactly is it expecting this, and how do i go about changing this?

These may be silly questions, and this is only my first day or two
looking into eclipse, but i like it thus far and have really tried to
immerse myself in the options.

Thanks for any and all guidance,
Liam Morley
