Re: [linuxtools-dev] Code Formatter

I would prefer Eclipse Build In, which is what we use for CDT (tabs and line max 120), but I saw bunch commit like

"Changing tabs into spaces to comply with sonar", so I assumed if some-what important.

I would have thought the default is tabs given that's what the 'Eclipse
Built-in' formatter does. It's always possible to enable project specific
formatters and push the corresponding .settings/ files so that all Eclipse
IDE users follow that standard.

I can't find any rules regarding this so my guess is we've always just gone
by what the project has already defined.
