I have the settings for this done correctly.
However for certain cases, like when I declare or initialize an anonymous class, and eclipse puts out auto-generated code, all of that is still tab-spaced. Is there a workaround to this?

Which editor in Eclipse are you actually using, though? Formatting rules might case an editor to ignore this preference. – nitind Feb 18 '15 at 16:05

For the Java Editor, it's controlled with/by the Java Formatter preferences.

1I'm not sure why there would be a general offer of 'insert spaces for tabs' yet not respect it. – Queso May 06 '16 at 14:48

Thanks. I couldn't modify the built-in profile, so first I had to create my own. Luckily, you can copy a built-in profile and then customize it. – Jabba Oct 09 '16 at 09:43
