Is there a way to turn off auto indentation on the ide Eclipse, with every new line it is tabbing one space in, I don't see the option in preferences.

I hope I understand your question correct:
You can set the tab size to zero. Right click your project and press properties. Expand Java Code Style and select Formatter. Click "Enable project specific" and press the 'edit' button. Here you can change the tab size of the indent. You need to create an own profile in order to save.

Thanks that will do, I am new to Eclipse and I couldn't find those options.
