Description Kit Lo CLA 2005-01-05 14:31:40 EST 
build: eclipse-SDK-I20050104-1600-win32

The "Use tab character" preference is not initialized probably.

testcase:
- start Eclispe with a new workspace
- open a Java file in the Java Editor
- format the Java file
- tabs are used for indentations although the build-in Java Conventions 
  Formatter profile has the "Use tab character" preference unchecked
- switch to the "Eclipse 2.1" Formatter profile and switch back to the "Java 
  Conventions" Formatter profile
- format the Java file again
- now spaces are used for indentations

Moving to JDT/Core first since the user didn't change the settings and the
profiles are built-in profiles provided by JDT/Core.

Frédéric,

Have a look at at the comment in bug 84297 comment 7. It explains why we have a
difference between the code preferences and the UI settings.
Comment 4 Tom Hofmann CLA 2005-02-11 04:07:27 EST 
Note that if you get rid of those two lines (as suggested in bug 84297 comment
7) the default values will be changed, which will not only affect fresh
installs, put possibly also people with formatter settings that happen to set
the tab width value to the same as the default!

Unfortunately, defer post 3.1
Comment 6 Frederic Fusier CLA 2005-03-31 10:44:07 EST 
Reopen as it seems to be necessary to fix this issue for 3.1
