Eclipse is a free open-source Java environment available from http://eclipse.org. Eclipse is a Java program, but it uses a custom user interface toolkit that does not run on all platforms that supports Java 2. Check the web site for supported platforms. Eclipse requires a Java 2 runtime, so you need to install the Java 2 SDK first before installing Eclipse.
You can download the SDK from HERE.
This screen comes when opening eclipse.After loading this another screen comes in front of you which is given below.
Setting preferences

Then check the boxes Insert a new line before an opening brace and Insert new lines in control statements.
Click on the Style tab. Then uncheck Insert tabs for indentation, not spaces. Set Number of spaces representing an indentation level to 3.
Click the OK button to save your settings.
