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

"<cursor>"

I don't need the second quotes. It's annoying to remove afterward.

A: 

I don't know how to turn the feature off however, you can hit tab and eclipse will jump past the quotes.

Hitting tab for me eclipse enters an actual tab inside the quotes and not jump.

I was editing php file with Zend Studio. Hitting tabs works when I'm editing Java using eclipse.

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

A: 

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