Every programmer's editor has these two features and it's really disappointing to not find them in NetBeans. There are some (more or less working) plugins that offer these features, but they should really be part of the core editor, not some third-party plugin.
Could you add links where to find those plugins? Thanks

View and of line is already implemented by Mila. It is accessible via View --> Show Non-printable Characters. It does not visually mark the space character. Putting this into the plan for 7.1.
View space character implemented: http://hg.netbeans.org/jet-main/rev/1c1a4b832185

Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *201105200400* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/1c1a4b832185 User: Miloslav Metelka <mmetelka@netbeans.org> Log: #116926 - View space as a centered dot '.' character when show non-printing characters.
Created attachment 109474 [details] screenshot NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201107160600) Java: 1.7.0; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 21.0-b17 Linux I do not know that means DocumentView.PRINTING_SPACE (http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/1c1a4b832185), but I see no points. In a 30 line. From the beginning of line to the word obviously more than one tabulation.
And if I get it right, there was integration into 'main - golden' accordingly it becomes DEFECT instead of ENHANCEMENT
Apologies, the commit got lost by a large code rewrite. http://hg.netbeans.org/jet-main/rev/07bb6e183318
