I am using Eclipse for Java programming but lines in the editor look too close together.

I want to change the amount spacing/gap between lines. Is there an option in Eclipse that I can use to do this?

You could configure a formatter (Preferences | Java | Code Style) to inject extra empty lines. Otherwise, you might be able to find a font (Preferences | General | Appearance | Colors and Fonts) with a lot of built-in whitespace. On Windows, I like 'consolas'--it's not particularly whitespace-y but it is a nice mono-spaced, readable font.

On linux with gtk you can also play with a .gtkrc file. See here and here as examples.

Of course this doesn't help anything on windows :)
