Fellow Eclipse users, (you can ignore this email if you are not one):

Eclipse is great and has all the goodies I need in an open source, code completing, block collapsing IDE. I finally have it fully configured for and would like to use it for PHP, Python, etc. But there is one fatal flaw: I can't seem to find a way to change tab to spaces. I need specifically to change tab to three spaces, (so that when I type tab, I get three spaces). The code is much cleaner this way and there are many current and possible future clients who require this. I have tried both Eclipse 3.1 and 3.2 and do not find this feature. Please tell me how to change this setting, or, if possible an easy work around. Please don't tell me about the "Displayed tab width" setting. This is for display only and does not effect the actual text. Sorry if I sound upset, it's because I am frustrated with this huge oversight and/or sloppily excluded feature.

I did find that PyDev does have the three spaces replace the tab setting I need. But this doesn't solve my PHP issue.

<sarcasm>Perhaps when an over abundance of time magically appears I can hack the source code for the php-ide plug in.</sarcasm>

<crickets>Any more suggestions?</crickets>

Thank you for bottom posting, the top posting can be confusing.
