Install Java & Eclipse
Install Java
To develop with Java you need to install the Java JDK first. This can be downloaded at: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html
If you have Windows 64 bit, you should install the 64 bit version (x64), otherwise install the 32 bit version (x86).
After installation (be careful to uncheck the installation of any stupid toolbars) you should add the java bin directory to your path and create the JAVA_HOME environment variable which should point to the installation directory of the JDK.
Install Eclipse
Now you can install Eclipse. Download it from here http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
You must install the same architecture as the Java version you installed. So if you installed the 64bit version of Java, you should use the 64bit version of Eclipse. The version on which Eclipse SCADA is based is Kepler/4.3. The current version is 4.3.2, so you should download that one (the classic version). There is no installer, so just unzip it to some directory where you want to have it.
There is a nice screencast which explains all the necessary steps in depth.
