Probably an obvious one, but it caught me out as a novice eclipse user ... you need to have JDK installed, and you also need to configure eclipse to use this (instead of JRE). This is done in Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Istalled JREs. You may need to "Add" the path to your JDK if it isn't listed there (probably something like C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_17 if yuo are on Windows.
