Can Mac and Window users work together with openJDK8 using Eclipse?

Our team wants to use openJDK 8 (javac 1.8.0_265) on both mac and windows using Eclipse(2018-09).

Will there be any problems when sharing files etc?

You could run into problems if you use the tab (HT) character for indentation. The default tab width on Mac OS is 8 spaces, but on Windows it is default. If you don't necessary steps, code written on Mac OS will look mis-indented on Windows and vice versa.

A solution: Make it part of your coding conventions that only space (SP) characters shall be used for indentation. Get everyone to adjust their IDE / editor settings to do this automatically.
