Even though “insert spaces for tab” is enabled in the common editor preferences, tabs are inserted instead of space when indenting multiple lines in the jsp editor.

Thanks.

Can you please post all the information we request in the [URL=http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-393.html]Posting Guidelines[/URL] thread at the top of this forum? That will give us some context so that we can determine if this is an installation issue, a configuration problem, or a bug. Thanks.

I’m noticing the same problems.

I have tried both Eclipse 3.0.1 and 3.1M4 with both MyEclipse 3.8.3 and 3.8.4. Same problem every time. I’m running on Windows XP.

Indenting code in JSP editor inserts tabs even though I have the editor configured to use spaces.

This is using the Tab & Shift-Tab keys when a block is selected.

I also noticed that it will not un-indent lines all the way to the left, for example:

<form>
… bunch of stuff …
</form>

I want to get:

<form>
… bunch of stuff …
</form>

Other then this, I love this tool.

Thanks,

Jeff,
Sorry you had to run into this, this is a known bug that we will hopefully get ironed out for 3.9.

[jstano]

Great! Thanks for the info.

[jstano]

Will 3.9 be the next release?

[Riyad Kalla]

Will 3.9 be the next release?

Yep, hopefully end of March.

[jstano]

Any chance of getting access to a beta or something. I don’t mind helping to test.

Thanks,

Jeff

Jeff,
If you are interested in joining our QA team we are looking for people that use most (if not all) of the MyEclipse feature set, people that are willing to put in time not just ‘trying out’ the betas but really beating on them, even features they don’t normall use and reporting what they find in our QA forum. We also need people that don’t mind running software that will likely crash and know how to handle themselves to fix the problem. We need people that know about cleaning out their workspace, reinstalling, without much handholding from us if ou need to roll back to a stable release.

If this sounds good to you please send you letter of interest with qualifications (Basically why you would make a good tester) to [email protected] ATTN Riyad along with your user name. I’ll take care of the rest if we think it would be a good match.
