AW: [Jsynthlib-devel] Eclipse - Displayed Tab Width

I personally would prefer to stay with 4.

8 is IMHO too much and not good for good readibility.

Ehm, and in my code I use blank spaces for tabs
so that there is no difference for a text editor
that uses another tab indent value.

That's no problem with UltraEdit which is the text
editor I currently use.

And in Eclipse there is also an option to use blank
spaces for tabs. I have just the german version
installed so I cannot tell you were to go.
There are two places: One in the "Code formatting tool"
(I assume that's the english name) and one in "Editor"
preferences.

Conversion from tabs to blank spaces, and vice versa
is possible in UltraEdit and I think it should
be possible with the "Code formatting tool" in Eclipse
but I haven't tested it.

Regards,
Joachim
