This is the right place if you intend to do JSword development using 
Eclipse. JSword can be developed under any Java IDE (I suppose) but the 
project files have been checked into CVS so it is straight forward to use 
it.

Everything that is needed for JSword development is contained in CVS.

JSword is being developed under Java 1.4.x so make sure that you have that. 
Java 1.3 won't work.

You can get Eclipse at www.eclipse.org. There seem to be some problems with 
Eclipse 3 M8, but M7 works well. That is, if you want the beta. Otherwise 
get the latest version of Eclipse 2.

You don't need anything else to get started. There may be other plugins that 
you might want at a later date. For example, Eclipse does not come ready for 
the J2EE party. It does not have a web server or a j2ee container.
