How do I disable auto-indent in Eclipse Helios (Java)?

I swear I looked everywhere, and disabled almost everything (insertion of matching brackets etc), but when I type an opening brace and hit enter, it auto-indents the next line with a tab. Is there a way to disable this "handy" "commodity"?

White Fang gave you the correct answer, but I will give you a guide how to find options that you need:

  1. Open Window > Preferences (or Project > Properties)
  2. Type the word you need in the search box.

The search in settings is extremely useful. When you type "indent", it would filter the irrelevant items in the tree.
