Really? I just Googled "jdk-1_5_0_04-windows-i586-p.exe" and found rather
a lot of matches. One can download it from the very first link.

There are more recent versions of Java than that, though.

If you ever need to download a JDK, the Java website is perhaps the best
bet (java.sun.com).

OK, some background. Eclipse is a Java application, so to run it, one
needs Java installed.

If you don't already have a JDK installed, then the option you want is the
one WITH the JDK, because that will definitely be the a suitbale version to
run Eclipse one. One might not want to D/L the version bundled with a JDK
if one already has the same or more recent JDK installed.

Well: start by googling CFEclipse. On the website for it, there'll be a
D/L as well as instructions. It's pretty straight fwd, if one reads the
instructions.
