[Jsynthlib-devel] Eclipse - Displayed Tab Width (Re: [jsynthlib-dev] Bug 998494 and SceneListModel/SceneFrame suggestions)

[Hiroo H. <hir...@co...>]

Hi Rib,

When someone wrote about Eclipse on this mailing list months ago, I
downloaded the Eclipse, but forgot about it before installing.  This
time I installed Eclipse 3.0, tried "Hello World", and did CVS check out
JSynthLib.

Cool tool!  I found some features what I want to use.  It has so many
features that I need time to learn.  Thank you for your advice.

I found one problem.  The default coding style is "The Java Programming
Language" which we recommend in programming.html.  This is really good.

The problem is the default "Displayed Tab Width"
(Preferences->Java->Editor) is set to 4.  This is bad choice.  Most
tools (ex. cat on console, CVS browser on JSynthLib SourceForge site, ....)
assumes "Displayed Tab Width" is 8.  I see indentation of some code is
broken in JSynthLib.  This default value may be one of the reason.

I'd like to ask developers to set the value to 8.

If there is no objection, I'll add this on programming.html.
