Remember that Eclipse may need dependencies (smaller programs) to run; you will have to also find where they are located - and download them as well, again remember to make sure they are as old as the version of Eclipse you are using. You may be in luck if the project which created Eclipse keeps a record of where to find the dependencies and if you are really lucky they are available from the same place where you get Eclipse. If not try looking for these or other dependencies at http://www.sourceforge.net/. Another thing to remember you will have to know how to compile all these programs from source in the right sequence and then have them installed as you complete make. As a programmer there is work which is interesting and work which I rather avoid as it keeps me from useful work I need to do. Of course, there are analogies to this is all fields, but in regards to computers dealing with unnecessary stuff when you do know what you are doing is pretty difficult to bear. Of course, if someone doesn't know anything about programming then the challenges I'm discussing is very much worse. Consider that yum may not be able to help you as there are no YDL mirrors which maintain YDL packages older than YDL 5. Should you be able to move up to YDL 5 or 6, then yum will be useful to you again and you won't have to deal with putting so much together on your own. I believe I recall reading that Fixstars would restore the older versions of YDL within a server reserved for access by members of YDL.net; you'll have to query Fixstars directly for more details. The other option you have is to instruct yum to search the PPC release of Fedora. All the best...
