I don't do plugins, however, I'm pretty certain you don't want to put it
at the root of your workspace. I looked at the tutorial and, without
performing it, I don't know what Lars means by "bundleclass:" and
"platform:", but at very least you know it should be on a deeper path
such as _____/plugin/test/icons.
I hope this helps a little, but you'll likely not get much more help in
this forum, especially this coming (US) holiday weekend.

Ah, okay.
I assume you wish to develop a Java application. Here's how.
1. Download Eclipse IDE for Java (or Java EE) Developers from
eclipse.org. Explode it someplace like /home/richard/dev/eclipse (or
C:\Users\richard\dev). Hereafter my paths will be for Unix/Linux, but
you can translate.
2. Download a proper JDK from Sun (java.sun.com). (I don't use the O
word, but this URL will get you to the right place.)
3. Install the JDK ** privately ** some place like
/home/richard/dev/jdk1.7.0_67. Don't install in on your computer as THE
Java. This is so the computer's JRE, likely fine and already there, is
updated and runs all your other Java applications independently. Then,
what you're doing with Eclipse is NEVER disturbed by that.
4. Wire the JDK up to Eclipse by following
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini.
5. Create a workspace somewhere like /home/richard/dev/workspace.
6. Launch Eclipse and tell the opening dialog about your workspace.
Maybe tell it always to open that one and not bug you about it.
7. Create your first project by doing File -> New -> Other... -> Java
Project (or, if a web application is what you want, choose Web ->
Dynamic Web Project).
From this point, you should follow a tutorial like the excellent ones
provided at vogella.de.
Hope this helps.
