Welcome to LQ.

Eclipse : Open a terminal window, and type :
sudo apt-get install eclipse
.... Then eclipse-3.5.2 gets installed.

Software (eclipse etc.) can also be installed with the Software Manager = Synaptic

Unless it's something very unusual, you don't have to do anything.
The command : env | grep PATH
... will show the system PATH's.
