I remember starting Eclipse on Linux Fedora (not working very much, but
tested - it worked).
First step: - don't use Java and Eclipse that come with Fedora
distribution - they use GCJ Java and their Eclipse didn't work in my
experience.
Second Step: - download and install SUN Java. Fedora documentation
advices against using SUN Java RPM (their general insistence on GCJ is
crazy, in my opinion), but I did just that and it apparently passed OK.
Third Step: - download Eclipse, put it in folder you like, and start it.
I don't remember other problems, and Eclipse worked OK.

On Unix: Just go to the installation folder and type "eclipse".

I think it requires Java and eclipse to be already installed, and '.' to
be in path, but otherwise will probably work.

If your distro has Eclipse packaed and ready, just start it from the
menu system. Works with SuSE.

I'd be surprised if instructions aren't provided with the eclipse
download...
