Can't disable method parenthesis auto-complete in Eclipse
I'm trying to disable the automatic closing of brackets in Eclipse, and while I've mostly succeeded, I can't stop the editor from inserting a closing parenthesis for a method call. The result is that when I type:
myBool.equals(true);
it inserts a closing parenthesis as soon as I type the opening parenthesis, and what I actually get is:
myBool.equals(true);)
I've disabled all of the auto-complete options in the Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Typing menu, as well as Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Content Assist -> Fill method arguments and show guessed arguments. I also disabled the smart insert mode option under the Edit menu. Is there another option somewhere else I need to use to stop Eclipse from doing this?
This is with Eclipse 3.5.2 (Build ID M20100211-1343) in case it matters.
Edited to add: I should also mention that this only happens if I wait for the "intellisense" pop-up with suggested method names to appear after I type the period. If I just continuously type the code without waiting for the suggestion box to appear, the closing parenthesis doesn't get inserted.

I don't know how to disable the method parenthesis auto-complete - so I'm not sure, if you'll be satisfied with my answer. But to avoid ending up with
myBool.equals(true);)
you can actually enable (Parenthesis, [square] and <angle> brackets in the Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Typing menu. This inserts the parenthesis automatically (which you probably don't want), but you can just continue typing normally, as you would in an editor without "intelligence": Your closing parenthesis will simply overwrite the automatically inserted parenthesis, so you won't end up with );).
