It also won't bring up the the page for the built-in ones (with the "Show..." 
button). I even removed by preferences and tried again, no luck.

The workaround for the nasty bug is:

- shutdown eclipse
- find the file .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.ui/dialog_settings.xml in
your workspace
- find the string
'key="org.eclipse.jdt.uiformatter_page.white_space.java_view.inner"'
and change the following value to 'value="0"'
- you can also delete the who file 'dialog_settings.xml': you will loose some
saved state of dialogs, e.g. last opened size, last browsed lcoation; but
nothing serious.

- restart eclipse
