Well I found how to stop the tags auto-closing. For some reason it's under the Web | HTML Files preferences (even for a PHP file). I realise PHP is embedded in HTML but it seems odd the way the Editor options cross over like this. You need to restart Eclipse for this change to work.
I don't know how to find the Web | HTML Files Preferences
section of cfeclipse configuration. The best I could find for this utterly infuriating so-called feature is this:
Go to Window -> Preferences -> CFEclipse -> Editor
Then set Insight Delay to 9999
. This won't turn it off but as good as. (Thank you House of Fusion for confirming my action).
You can find the HTML content assist in:
Window > Preferences > Web > HTML Files > Editor > Content Assist
and uncheck the "Automatically Make Suggestions" checkbox in the "Auto Activation" Panel
(used Linux Version of Eclipse Juno)
Found it (it IS hard to find, I know). It's: Window > Preferences > Web > HTML Files > Editor > Typing (a LOT of steps, I know), then you can uncheck the boxes :).
Same issue, a slightly different location : looks like this is to be unplugged for each different programming language we use.
For Java, I had to look in :
(window / preferences) Java > Editor > Content Assist, frame "Auto Activation", uncheck "Enable auto activation"
For Linux version of Eclipse Juno, find it in:
Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Content Assist. then uncheck "Enable auto activation" from the "Auto Activation" Panel
Then Eclipse and I can work together...
