Getting Started
To begin, make sure Eclipse is installed and working on your computer. It is often useful to install Eclipse onto a Linux environment, because it more closely mirrors the actual testing environment where your code will be compiled. I won't go into details, but in particular, installing Ubuntu Linux, or one of its derivatives such as KUbuntu, is very easy. Note that here, you install JUnit as well.
On a Debian-based Linux such as Ubuntu, installing Eclipse should be as easy as
apt-get update
apt-get install eclipse junit
or
apt-get update
aptitude install eclipse junit
On an RPM based distribution such as Red Hat Linux or Fedora Core
yum install eclipse junit
should do the trick.
You can also install Eclipse graphically through the package manager, such as Synaptic, Adept, or simply what will be marked as "Manage Software","Manage Packages","Add and Remove Programs", or something similar in your menu.
Tip: On pure Debian, GCJ is installed instead of sun-java. Make sure to install sun-java and remove GCJ or Eclipse will not work quite right, and will likely frustrate you a great deal.
Windows and Mac OSX users will likely want to visit http://www.easyeclipse.org/site/home/ and download from there. EasyEclipse is just a pre-packaged version of Eclipse which will save you time and energy in the long run.
You can then install JUnit with the TPTP plugin: http://easyeclipse.org/site/plugins/eclipse-tptp.html
