Double Spacing Code in Editors [message #185220]

When I view code in JavaScript, Java and JSP editors the code is double
spaced. When I view the code in another text editor like TextPad it is
still single spaced. The really wierd thing is when I save the file it is
still single speced in TextPad. Can I turn this off?

I'm currently on:

You don't say what your platform is, but it certainly sounds like you're
editing a file with different line terminators than your platform uses
as a default. Maybe Eclipse thinks it's a binary file rather than a text
file? Alternately, you could set -Dline.separator when you run Eclipse -
but you shouldn't need to do that. Look at the file in a hex editor and
see what you've got.

Eclipse text editors can handle files with mixed line delimiters where
"LF", "CF" and "CR LF" are valid line delimiters. Now, if your files
have "LF CR" that would explain why you see doubled line spacing.

This is only used when creating new files and has no effect at all when
viewing files.
