Answer 1

First you need to install Pdf4Eclipse plugin e.g. from here: http://borisvl.github.com/Pdf4Eclipse

Then open both the tex and the corresponding pdf file in Eclipse. Place the cursor somewhere in the tex source and open the context menu by right-clicking. Select Forward search menu item near the bottom.
