Just FYI, in Eclipse, the auto-indentation that happen when you press 
Enter will use the indentation from the previous line (whether it's 
spaces, tabs, or even mixed).
However, other editing operations that generate lines of code (like code 
templates, auto-generated code, refactorings like extracting a method, 
etc.) are not so smart and will indent with according to the default 
indentation you specify in the settings, they won't look at how the file 
is already indented.
