On my Windows 7 ultimate machine Eclipse has gotten into0 some sort of help mode. How do I get it into edit mode and get it to stay there? How do i set the indentation to 4 spaces, rather than a full tab? How do I set Java programs to 9open in the Eclipse editor? Thaniks for answering some dumb questions. I'm not very good with GUI's.
