disable eclipse auto completion

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...
