Question : Eclypse C++ instalation

Hello,
I have tried to install eclipse (the C++ version at http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/ganymede/R/eclipse-cpp-ganymede-win32.zip). But I get all sort of messages and problems (java null, can't find the binaries...).

Can some one help me with the installation (maybe there ios some complexe configuration, I faught you just have to download, double clique and create a new C++ project).

Basic questions
1 - Where do you set the output directorie (I now how you can set the source directory, but not the output) ?
2 - Do you have to install cygwin appart, or eclipse C++ manages everything for you.
3 - What do you have to do in order to get Windows output (like an .exe file) ?
2 -Doesn't Eclipse compile when you ask it to run or debug ?

Answer : Eclypse C++ instalation

At first see that you install an actual Java SDK (1.6 should be fine)
Then install eclipse and after that do an internal insttallation in Eclipse to install CDT
Eclipse has some "wizards" for divrese project types among them is command line tool which you can use to build simple executables.
