hi,

seems like eclipse uses tabs instead of spaces for text indention.
One can set the amount of spaces to use for a tab. But if you
open the code with some other editor with different tab settings,
the code looks quite bad.. .
Can I make eclipse to use spaces instead of tabs ?

In the Preferences:

Java->Editor->Typing->Insert Spaces for tabs
Java->Code Formatter->{Your profile}->Indentation->Use Tab Character
