I've used Eclipse a bit and I think that it's really overkill and not 
geared toward doing Wireshark type development.

It may take some getting used to if you're used to GUI based debugging, 
but gdb is a great tool to use for Wireshark debugging on Unix 
platforms.  If you want it to be tied into an IDE, I like using Emacs 
with its built-in gdb calling support.
