AnyEdit

AnyEdit adds several tools to the Eclipse GUI.¹⁾

Main features:

• Conversions: tabs ↔ spaces (technically mature, works for whole directories and you can define exceptions)
• Automatic actions when a file is stored (just activate them in the configuration mennu): remove trailing whitespaces and/or perform tabs↔spaces conversion on a “save” action in all text-based Eclipse editors.
• You can add new buttons to the toolbar: “Show whitespace in editor”, “Save All”, “open File”
• See http://andrei.gmxhome.de/anyedit/ for a complete overview.

Simply use the Eclipse Updatemanager to install the Plugin.
