Build Identifier: HEAD Code is indented with a mix of tabs and spaces, and it mess up git patched and indentation. Should spaces or tabs be the standard? There is a file for project settings provided, but it doesn't seems to define formating policy. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: N/A
Linux Tools has never standardized. If this is important, we can set one up and have one big commit that fixes everything. We can also set save hooks to auto-format on save.
1. Tabs Spaces don't lie. As far as I'm concerned, tabs should be strictly forbidden. I don't think there's been a half-decent case for them since data communication broke the 10cps barrier. IMHO, their nuisance far outweighs their presumed usefulness (we will see "Peace in the Middle East" AND "Cure for Cancer" before I change my mind on this one :-) 2. Big commit I was thinking of going tab-less right after 0.8.1 (LTTng/TMF only). I'm not convinced the other sub-projects want to spend any time on this... 3. Auto-format I used "format on save" hooks in the Bad Old ClearCase days and it was neat. But I'm not aware of such hooks in Eclipse. How does that work?

I'm not aware of anyone caring outside of LTTng/TMF, either. But I'm sure people wouldn't complain if this were done for all sub-projects > 3.

Ctrl-3 "save actions" -> "Save Actions - Java/Editor". Check "Perform the selected actions on save" and check the "Format source code" box.

Ctrl-awesome ( ;) ) didn't work?
I didn't see "save actions" in the popup and didn't realize I had to type it in... My bad :-) (It is actually awesome :-)
Postponed to after Juno.
