Description Berin Loritsch CLA 2003-04-07 22:01:04 EDT 
I work in Windows, but all the files are in UNIX line feeds.  I would like to have
Eclipse work natively with those files, and with new files I create like every
other IDE does.  I would like to be able to have a global setting for all of
Eclipse so that I am working with Unix file standards.

This is very important to me, as files I check in to CVS after I edit them in
Eclipse have the linefeeds corrupted.  The \r\n pair is saved to CVS directly,
but when read back is converted to \r\r\n or something like that.  Currently I
have to run a "fix CRLF" task on my machine before I commit.  That is not good.

Keep in mind that Cygwin tools defaults to Unix line-feeds, so Eclipse has to be
able to work in that environment.

Eclipse honors the line delimiter a file uses. There is no preference for 
configuring the default line delimiter of a new file. This is covered in PR 
28669.
