Eclipse Editor: How to change file format from Dos to Unix

Question

I am using eclipse editor to work on my remote files it appears that eclipse editor is set to dos file format, I do not know how to find fileformat set in eclipse editor, but I want it to be set on unix file format.

How can I set file format options to unix file format in eclipse ?

Thanks.

Solution 1

I don't have Eclipse installed to check, but from some searching it looks like there are two things to do.

To change the default format for new files:

Window -> Preferences -> General -> Workspace -> New text file line delimiter

To convert the file that's open:

File -> Convert Line Delimiters To -> Unix

Solution 2

Take look of following image for changing format:

Window -> Preferences -> General -> Workspace -> New text file line delimiter

Solution 3

This can even be done more specific, just for a single project:

Change Project > Properties > Resource : New Tex File Delimiter

I do not have option for New test file line delimiter for workspace option

What version of eclipse? The documentation shows that option: help.eclipse.org/galileo/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user‌​/…
