How do I disable auto-indent in Eclipse Helios (Java)?


I swear I looked everywhere, and disabled almost everything (insertion of matching brackets etc), but when I type an opening brace and hit enter, it auto-indents the next line with a tab. Is there a way to disable this "handy" "commodity"?


Solution

    1. From the menu go to Project > Properties
    2. Select Java Code Style > Formatter
    3. Check the box for Enable project specific settings OR click Configure Workspace Settings
    4. Click the Edit... button for the active profile
    5. On the Indentation tab uncheck all of the Indent options
