Description Levente Farkas

even if I do NOT select 
preferences/java/code formater/indentation is represented by tabs
when I put tab (while I'm editing the text) the editor insert tabs into the
source.
I'd like to see a feature which enables to put spaces (the number are set in
preferences/java/code formater/number of spaces ...) into the source file
when I press tab. this is wellknown feature in almost all editor (MS DevStudio,
vim,...)
thanks.

Formatter rework is deferred post 2.0, will reconsider after then.

This works in 2.1 stream. Selecting the option:
Window>Preferences>Java>Editor>Insert spaces for tabs.
