Annoying eclipse automatically closing quotes

I've always found the eclipse's automatic close quotes and parenthesis features to be useless. For example hitting on a single " will lead to

"<cursor>"

I don't need the second quote. It's annoying to remove afterward. How to turn this feature off?

Update: I now kept the setting on. If you type another quote " it will break through.

Try Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Typing and uncheck the "Strings" checkbox in the "Automatically close" group.

Jump out of the quotes by simply hitting Enter when you are done typing the string contents (at least, in the java editor).
