Eclipse - any quick words of wisdom w.r.t MODx codebase/SVN?

I’ve at least temporarily shifted my development to Eclipse. I’ve got things going quite nicely including debugging.
I’m just wondering if anyone has any quick tidbits of experience for me regarding checking out/in MODx files especially related to file encodings (e.g. I know there are some language files that are not UTF-8) and other things like auto-detecting tab/spacing settings in files.
I could find this all out by experience of course, but I’d rather avoid committing any nasty surprises to SVN.
Thanks.

As always, convert all tabs to spaces please, and I recommend using PHPEclipse if you want real code hinting without having to manually include directories in every project.

Use Unix linebreaks. Tabs should be 4 spaces. Compare is your friend.

I recommend Subclipse for SVN, PHPEclipse, and Spket for JS editing.
