Generate Code With Spaces Instead of Tabs

[unnamedharald]

For the life of me I can't figure out how to tell EA to use spaces instead of tabs when it generates Java source code.  Surely there's a way-- tabs are evil and are to be despised in source code!

Hi unnamedharald,

There isn't currently a one-click on/off switch for this, but the code generation templates can be modified to use spaces instead of tabs.  Refer to the Help file for more details on modifying the code templates.  Basically you need to replace the macros like:

%list="Attribute" @indent="\t" ....% to

%list="Attribute" @indent="    " ....%

You'll find these in the Class Body template for Java.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Ben.
