Option Description
Tab Spacing The number of blank spaces each Tab will move to the right.
Report problems before saving Enable if you want to be warned when you are saving a program element with errors in it.  You will also receive suggestions on how to fix the error.
Add imports for fully qualified types from SmartGuides When you use a SmartGuide to create a new method or field , the SmartGuide will fully qualify return types and parameter types (add them on the second SmartGuide page). 

If you enable this option, then, rather than fully qualifying the types in the method or field declaration, the packages that contain the types will be added to the containing class' import statement. 

If you do not enable this option, the packages will not necessarily be added to the import statement, and the types will appear as fully qualified in the declaration.

If you want to restore default settings, click Defaults.   If you want to apply changes without exiting the window, click Apply.
