JW (5/21/2001 1:37:34 PM) 108
	To save screen space, some developers don't want to indent their method bodies.
	This could be a useful option (in the future).

We need to clear 2.1 bug reports that won't be addressed before 2.1. The new 
implementation is still in the works. Therefore we cannot include it for 2.1. 
Not enough testing and we need to polish the preferences. This will be address 
for 2.2 as stated in the JDT/Core plan.

Out of those who requested this, is there anyone who also wanted for nested
types to not have their members indented? My opinion is that the entire class
formatting should have 1 less TAB everywhere, and not that nested classes should
also be non-indented. Here is how I like my indentation:

public class Outer {

public static void main(String arg[]) {
    blah = new Blah();
    blah.addListener(new Listener() {
        public void notify() {
            //do something
        }
    };
}

static class Nested {
    int x;
    int y;
}

}

See also bug 63900. My feeling is that original request was slightly mistated,
but maybe I'm wrong and there are those who don't want nested classes indented
either, thus requiring a 3rd type of indentation described in my other bug.
