It goes like this :
    1)  Download the .zip file.
    2)  $ unzip eclipse-blah-blah.zip

At this point the installation is complete.  To run eclipse,
    1)  $ /opt/eclipse-3.0.1/eclipse \
                -data ~/projects/eclipse-workspaces \
                -vm /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-sun/bin/java

Of course, such a long command is cumbersome so you will want to
create a shell script named 'eclipse' to run the real binary with the
correct options.

The real trick is to make eclipse fit the FHS and to facilitate
installation of plugins via the package system instead of (or in
addition to) eclipse's download manager.

Yes. :-)

dynamic port-forwarding from the firewall to the box.  Many network
administrators will probably (rightly) recoil at letting applications on a
Windows box dictate firewall policy.
