If you’re in Snow Leopard, the Java runtime is already there. Just double-click on Eclipse, and it’ll trigger the required Java runtime download.

After Eclipse is installed, you’ll see it as an app, just like any other, with this icon. The download is a …tar.gz file, so move it where you want the Eclipse directory to be because when you double click it, the package will be unzipped and untared right there.
