This is the default behavior...

...but this is not!  By default, Emacs on Windows should use DOS line
endings when it creates new files.  Does this change in any way if you
invoke Emacs as "emacs -Q"?  If so, perhaps some of your
customizations in .emacs cause this effect.

Btw, what build of Emacs do you use (what does "M-x emacs-version RET"
print)?

Even if the original file had Unix line endings?  If so (I don't
recommend it), you could set the value of save-buffer-coding-system to
dos.

You mean, Eclipse on Windows doesn't support Unix line endings?  That
would be a bug in Eclipse, I think.
