How do I disable Eclipse Software Sites?

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

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