[Jsynthlib-devel] Eclipse: Indentation / Displayed tab width

[Joachim B. <jba...@pi...>]

Hi,

I've started a discussion with Hiroo concerning
the indentation and displayed tab width.

In the "programming.html" the following can
be found:

"1. Preferences->Java->Editor->Displayed tab width must be set to '8'. "

This seems to be the issue.

Can anybody explain why the "Displayed tab width" should be set to 8
when indentation level should be set to 4?

I know that in most tools you can set up both differently but
it usually doesn't make sense.

In this case it leads to the point that there are two kinds of JSynthLib
developers:
A The one who use Eclipse with the setting above
B Those who use an editor with the recommended indentation & displayed =
tab width
setting of 4 (may also be Eclipse in my case).

Of course, the code of Group B developers looks strange for Group A
and vice versa.

And this leads to the discussion we have now here.
