title: How can I get Eclipse to insert tabs instead of spaces for Java content assist?
body: <p>Is there any way to persuade Eclipse to use tabs instead of spaces for indenting its built-in Java content assist proposals (such as when creating an empty method which overrides a method in the parent class)?</p>
  
  <p>The only setting I could find that looked relevant is in Windows/Preferences/General/Editors/Text Editors/Insert spaces for tabs, and this setting is unchecked.</p>
  
  <p>(EDIT: Several posters have pointed out Java / Code Style / Formatter / Indentation / Tab policy, which is set to "Tabs only")</p>
  
  <p>At the moment I have to remember to select them and re-format with <code>&lt;Ctrl&gt;+&lt;Shift&gt;+&lt;F&gt;</code>.</p>
