Hi,
When I write an expression on many lines, I expect Eclipse to insert a
space (and not a tab) in every position where the chracter on the previous
line is not a tab. I don't know if there's a setting somewhere to enable.
Right now Eclipse only indents with tabs (in the following example,
Eclipse would put tabs <t> when I want spaces <s>).
<t>METHOD_A
<t>{
<t><t>EXPRESSION;
<t><t>EXPRESSION;
<t><t>IF(CONDITION)
<t><t>{
<t><t><t>EXPRESSION;
<t><t><t>METHOD_B_WITH_LONG_NAME(ARGUMENT_A,
<t><t><t><s><s><s><s><s><s><s><s>ARGUMENT_B,
<t><t><t><s><s><s><s><s><s><s><s>ARGUMENT_C);
<t><t><t>EXPRESSION;
<t><t>{
<t><t>EXPRESSION;
<t>}
Thanks for your help,
JL

Thanks for the help.
Perhaps this should be added in the TODO list?
The main reason for this feature is to make sure the indentation looks
good on any editor. If the tab size is different in another tool and
there's no way to set it (like the output of a diff) the tabs inserted by
Eclipse will not end at the right position.
