How to change file format from Windows to Unix

Question

I am using the Eclipse code editor to work on my remote files.
It appears that Eclipse is set to dos/Windows file format. I do not know how to find the file format set in Eclipse, but I want it to be set to Unix file format.

How can I set the file format to Unix in Eclipse?

I don't have Eclipse installed to check, but from some searching it looks like there are two things to do.

To change the default format for new files:

Window -> Preferences -> General -> Workspace -> New text file line delimiter

To convert the file that's open:

File -> Convert Line Delimiters To -> Unix

What version of eclipse? The documentation shows that option: http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/reference/ref-9.htm – Chad Birch Mar 03 '10 at 20:48

Take look of following image for changing format:

Window -> Preferences -> General -> Workspace -> New text file line delimiter

This can even be done more specific, just for a single project:

Change Project > Properties > Resource : New Tex File Delimiter
