I don't know specifically that you'll be missing very many plugins for
Java, but you could get started by...
a) Installing a Sun JDK on your computer (my favorite source is
java.sun.com, Downloads, Popular Downloads, Java for Developers). The
JDK (not merely a JRE) is what gives you Content Assist and special Java
libraries when you're developing in Java.
b) Wire the JDK up to Eclipse (go to Window -> Preferences -> Java ->
Installed JREs -> Add and go find where you put the JDK).
c) Help -> Install New Software to get anything you're missing (how to
tell? uh, I've not done it this way, so maybe someone else will help).
If you can't understand one or more of these steps, it may be a sign
there are some plug-ins you need. (c) is how to get them.
If you want to do web development in Java, there's even more to get. Let
us know.
Best of luck.

I don't believe the CDT version of Eclipse contains the Java Development
Tools feature. You will probably have to install that as a minimum.
You can use the Help->Install New Software wizard to install the Eclipse
Java Development Tools.
Follow Russel's advice to make sure you have a JDK installed and aren't
developing against a jre.
