Description Basil Bourque

After generating a new class with WindowBuilder, and then using the Design View, I discovered the generated source code is a mix where some lines use Tabs for indenting and some lines use Spaces.

I had set this to True (checked):
Eclipse > Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors > "Insert spaces for tabs"

WindowBuilder works with Java sources, so uses tab character from Java formatting profile.
