Can anyone tell me which plug in part actually saves file.
I am looking for area where it converts tabs to spaces while saving file.
Thanks.

Well we do have in Eclipse setting to convert tabs to spaces- so where
would it do. It has to do either when loading or saving?

I think it is the code formatter that does this - I've never seen an
option in Eclipse for doing the conversion automatically without doing a
Format.

In Eclipse, Windows Preferences>Java Editor >typing tab has:
Insert spaces for tabs(see Code Formatter preference page)
Hence, when saving it should insert spaces for tabs- can code formatting
setting not do this. Any tracing I can put?

Also, as in Eclipse 3.0 I see Java>Code Style> Code Formatter- but no tab
setting preference specifically for space conversion. The Use Tab
Character is unchecked.

It's a typing preference i.e. whenever you type a tab it will insert
spaces into the document. No need to patch it later.
