EditorConfig Eclipse not working on Windows

As mentioned in the Installation Steps, I installed the plugin.

My .editorconfig looks like this:

root = true


[*]

# Change these settings to your own preference
indent_style = space
indent_size = 4

# We recommend you to keep these unchanged
end_of_line = lf
charset = utf-8
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
insert_final_newline = true

[*.md]
trim_trailing_whitespace = false

I copied this file in my project root directory. Then I clicked on Source -> Format. It changed the indent_style from space to tab; however, as mentioned in editorconfig this Format option should let it be on space style.

Is there any other setting I need to do?

I’ll try to reproduce this issue on a Windows VM and get back to you.

In Eclipse Oxygen make sure to uncheck the setting “Enable project specific settings” and use work space settings, otherwise Editor Config will not be applied. I have windows and that was the reason that the plugin was not working.
