I'm trying to switch from Komodo to Eclipse.

I can't figure out how to keep line-break characters from being shown in eclipse - looks like they are shown along with tabs and other whitespace characters.

Is there a way to show tabs and other whitespace characters but not line-break characters?

If you have Eclipse 3.7 you can disable them.

Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors -- Look for 'Show whitespace characters' and click on the link 'whitespace characters'.
