How do I disable Eclipse Software Sites?
========================================

Eclipse contacts all Update Sites even if the option is un-checked (:menuselection:`Help --> Install New Software... --> Contact all update sites during install to find required software`). 

To disable update sites querying,
go to :menuselection:`Window --> Preferences --> Install/Update --> Available Software Sites` and unselect all the references to software sites in that list.
