Set indents

Does anyone know how to set the indents to 4 spaces in BlueJ or Eclipse?

For BlueJ: ???

For Eclipse: Windows -- Preferences -- Java -- Code Style -- Formatter
and in the Formatter create your custom format. Also be sure to set indents to spaces, not tabs.

I went to the Formatter but I couldn't find anywhere where I can set the indents to 4 spaces?
There is only tab size in there that says 4. Please help..
Is there a way that I can make a tab to work as 4 spaces?

huh?

If you create your own format in the formatter, the very first tab is Indentation. change the Tab policy to spaces only , change the indentation size to 4 (I use 3).
