I've then moved it to my /Applications folder and that was it. unzip and gunzip are two totally different tools. Both support compression, but they use different algorithms, and one won't open the other's format. If, for some reason you were unable to open a tar.gz file from the UI, you could open a Terminal window, cd to /Applications and type this: tar -xzf /path/to/eclipse.tar.gz and you're done. This may also be the first time I've heard anyone say that OSX is unintuitive...
