Have you looked at the tutorials within Eclipse itself?

Just click on Help/Welcome and you should see a page with 4 large icons (I'm
using Eclipse 3.1.1; if you are on a different version of Eclipse, you may
see something slightly different.). The leftmost icon is a globe on a stand
and if you do a mouseover, the help bubble tells you that it is an overview
of Eclipse. The second icon from the left is a chalkboard and if you do a
mouseover, the help button tells you it leads to Eclipse tutorials. The
other two icons may also be interesting to you.

I've been using Eclipse for a few years now and the Help system was very
skimpy when I started out but there was still enough information in it for
me to learn the basics of using Eclipse in just a few hours. With all of the
information that has been added since that time, I think there's a very good
chance that you can learn all or most of what you need from the Eclipse help
system without having to go elsewhere. After all, they've probably paid
several Eclipse employees good money to write decent tutorials and
documentation on using Eclipse :-)

The best material I've found so far is:
http://help.eclipse.org/help31/index.jsp
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/eclipse.html
https://eclipse-tutorial.dev.java.net/eclipse-tutorial/part1.html
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/

The best was the Mindprod article, but it was very short, and despite
looking through the Eclipse help material I still have a bunch of questions,
such as how to get the undo/redo buttons:
http://help.eclipse.org/help31/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/re
ference/ref-68.htm

onto a toolbar.   The preliminary feedback I've gotten on the undo/redo
button issue in the eclipse.newcomer newsgroup:
http://www.eclipse.org/newsgroups/
is that it is not possible to use these buttons when editing code, which
seems odd.
