There's nothing you cannot "open" in Eclipse that makes sense to open.
You would do well to follow a tutorial on how to set it up and what it's
for. I would suggest this one:

I followed the tutorial and this alll I got.

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}

/* (non-Java-doc)
* @see java.lang.Object#Object()
*/
public Main() {
super();
}

}

I Know there has to be more to it than this

Of course, that's not code from the link I sent, but whatever...

You now know how to set up to develop an application in Eclipse. You
know how to use the IDE workbench, how to consume and even create JAR
files, you know about resources, etc.

Now, for open source projects...

Those will usually be found in a repository like GitHub. As you're new
to both programming and Eclipse, it's a steep curve. You'll want to
download the coding project that interests you from wherever it resides.

http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/versioncontrol.html

has tutorials on using git, GitHub, etc. That's the next step.
