Need option to replace tab characters with spaces [message #78866]

Most editors have an option somewhere to use spaces instead of tabs to
indent lines, but I can't find anything like that in Eclipse. There is
an option in the Java/Code Formater preferenses to insert spaces instead
of tabs, but it doesn't have any effect in non Java source files. In
particular ant build scripts.
