Hmm, for me, is very simple to work with eclipse.
There are some kind of concepts you must understand.
First of all there exists a perspective.
A perspective is a preconfigured eclipse workbench for a purpose.
For example there is j2ee perspective,
php perspective
database design perspective.
In this perspective you will find open more "views" and "Editors".
Views are open windows inside the main eclipse window, windows for a 
specific purpose.
For example in java perspective,
you will find package explorer, console and so on.
Tu move around views use the ctrl + f7 key strocke.
Editors are a special kind of view, that permits editing actions with their 
objects.
I am using eclipse on a daily basis for java development, j2ee development, 
birt development, php development, dotnet development.
