Finally something I can help with. Eclipse is such a fine IDE especially the
lates build 2.1.  Here is how you work Avalon into it:  Check out all
excalibur, avalon, ..., whatever you need.  You then have to modify the
.project file for each checked out project in the resource perspective /
navigator to look kinda like this (buildSpec and natures is the part you
will have to change):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<projectDescription>
        <name>jakarta-avalon-excalibur</name>
        <comment></comment>
        <projects>
                <project>jakarta-avalon</project>
        </projects>
        <buildSpec>
                <buildCommand>
                        <name>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javabuilder</name>
                        <arguments>
                        </arguments>
                </buildCommand>
        </buildSpec>
        <natures>
                <nature>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature</nature>
        </natures>
</projectDescription>

This will automatically make the whole project a java project and you can
see it in the java perspective (You might need to close the package explorer
view and re-open it). You can then mount all source code folders using the
properties/Build Settings dialog. You also have to include references to
either any necessary other checked out avalon projects or the substituting
libraries as well as the libraries contained in the project.  Takes a while
until it's all compiled and set up, but then it's pretty nice to work with.
Make sure you do not check in the .classpath file since this will be most
likely be different from user to user.  You will ant to add it to
.cvsignore. You also have to change the JDBConnection stuff to remove the
ant substitution tags so it compiles.

Hope this helps.
