Author Newbie: install eclipse

Hello everyone,
I am new to linux environment. I installed JDK1.4.2_06 and
eclipse yesterday. They works fine, but what confused me
was the symbolic link. I copied "java" and "javac" into
/usr/bin (which is in my $PATH,so I can access them elsewhere) .
But it didn't work, system complained about can't
find some library. So I created two symbolic links which points
to /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2/bin/java[c], and it works. But when
I did the same thing to my eclipse installation, but symbolic link
didn't work this time. My system complained about it couldn't find
the library.
Now I have to go to the /home/dean/eclipse and execute the eclipse.
But why it doesn't work.
Am I using the symbolic link right? What is the procedure to make
the executables of the newly installed software available systemwide?

Thank you
Dean
