Get Tab Size from Preferences [message #259549]

Hello,

I suppose this is the right group to ask the question.

I'm trying to get the Tab size in java source files, which is set by the
current code formatter. In the XML file of the formatter it has the key:

"org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.tabulation.size"

And I suppose that it is contained in some PreferenceStore, but calling
PlatformUI.getPreferenceStore().getInt("org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.tabulation.size ")
does not return the value.

Do you know how can I get the value?

Thank You!

Nikolay

The Platform UI plug-in knows nothing about JDT and hence you won't find
it there.
I suggest to take a look at
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.corext.util.CodeFormatterUtil.getTa bWidth(IJavaProject).
