You can just download the files and stick them in your project; the 
reasons maven is recommended is that there are a
lot of files and not all of them can be used at once.

Here are some directions for setting up an eclipse project:
- http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/Welcome+to+Eclipse+Developers

Please note that the instructions here:
- http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/04+How+to+Read+a+Shapefile

They tell you how to use maven to figure out what jars are needed (you 
only need to run it once from the command line to get the list); they 
also provide a website link so you can figure out what jars are needed.
