You can always get the latest version under of eclipse under
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/index.php. Eclipse does
not need to be installed. For java and any other packages you want to
install use http://packages.ubuntu.com/ if you can only access the
internet with a Windows box. You will need to download any dependencies
yourself. Of course you can only use packages for your distribution. It
is probably edgy x86.

Yes, Java is the bit that changes. But you can use the same Java
applications on both platforms, unless they've been written perversely.
Use the proper Ubuntu packages as per http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/
rather than the Sun install packages. Install the sun-java5-jdk for
development, though this can be installed after the standard JRE.

The best bet is to 'apt-get install eclipse' and use that for
development under Linux. Once you've done that, I refer you to
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-ecov/ and the like for
getting stuck in.
