Hey,
I've installed Eclipse on Windows and Linux machines before, and I feel
like an idiot because for some reason, I cannot figure out how to get it
up and running on my Powerbook.
I've downloaded a couple different .tar.gz's for OS X
(eclipse-SDK-3.1.1-macosx-carbon.tar.gz and
eclipse-SDK-3.2M3-macosx-carbon.tar.gz for reference). When I unpack
them, they unpack into folders with their respective names, and inside
each is a folder called eclipse, inside of which is a folder named
plugins. This is filled with a bunch of .jar files. None of them have a
main class specified in their manifest files, so none of those are what I
should be running. Did I download the wrong files, or is there some step
to converting these files to some form runnable from the shell or Finder
that I'm just completely missing?

Forgot to mention, in case you don't know, the SDK-3.2M3 is the latest
bleeding edge. SDK-3.1.1 is the latest stable version.

Sorry, to hear you were looking at that doc. I have not worked on an
Apple since 1983. So I can't help to much. Only Google it. You figure it
has to be in the base Eclipse directory. You probity have a 'features'
and 'plugin' subdirectory. On all other OS's its in the base directory.

Yeah, that did it. That's odd, I hadn't had problems with Stuffit
before. I guess I should keep the terminal in mind if something
unpacked seems wrong. Thanks a lot!
