This is more of an Eclipse question… Is there a way to change the default line delimiters to Unix (LF) from DOS (CR/LF)? I’m using My Eclipse 3.7 on Windows. When I create a file in Eclipse, it defaults to CR/LF which tends to bug others on my team since they work in Unix.

Andrew,
I believe that Eclipse will pickup and use the line delimiters in a file the way it finds them, so you should only need to do this change once per file:
Source>Convert Line Delimiters To>UNIX

Hope that helped.

Riyad,

I am having problems with line delimiters too:

Linux RedHat 8.0
Eclipse 3.0.1 build 200409161125
– Eclipse freshly installed for MyEclipse
– Other plugin installed : Rational ClearCase SCM Adapter 6.0.25
– How many plugins in the <eclipse>/plugins directory are like org.eclipse.pde.*
* org.eclipse.pde_3.0.1
* org.eclipse.pde.build_3.0.1
* org.eclipse.pde.core_3.0.1
* org.eclipse.pde.doc.user_3.0.0
* org.eclipse.pde.junit.runtime_3.0.0
* org.eclipse.pde.runtime_3.0.1
* org.eclipse.pde.source_3.0.1
* org.eclipse.pde.ui_3.0.1
MyEclipse 3.8.4
JDK version to run Eclipse 1.5.0_01
JDK version to launch application server 1.4.2_07
Application server: Tomcat 4.1.31
No exceptions in the Eclipse log file

My problem is that I set the Line Delimiter in MyEclipse->Editors->XML to Windows, and even WITH a Windows formatted .xml file (crlf’s at end of lines), any new lines that I add, end up with only lf’s in them. I checked by opening the .xml file outside of Eclipse with vi (after saving it with the ME XML Editor).

Please advise?

Hendie,
What happens when you convert the EOL delimiters as noted above? Then does it honor them?

[Hendie Dijkman]

No .. I assume you are referring to your answer to Andrew. No, that didn’t help either.
