I googled a bit and it seems you can set "tabsize" somewhere but I can't
find where.
Thanks,

Open the Preferences dialog (Window > Preferences), select the "General
\ Editors \ Text Editors" category and set the tab size in the
"Displayed tab width" field. Note that plugin-specific features (e.g.,
the Ruby editor or a Java editor) may also hide under their own specific
Preference page(s), so make sure to hunt for any Ruby-specific
configuration and check it as well.
Another hint: beginning Eclipse 3.1, you can filter the preferences
pages by a keyword. Try to put the word "tab" in the field labeled "type
filter text" and you'll see all settings related to tabs.
HTH!
