You should start with the neo4j tutorial.

Briefly, cypher is a query language. Once you have data in graphs, you can query it with cypher just like you would use SQL for a regular database. You can also use java, but I don't recommend doing it via java unless you have a requirement that indicates that cypher isn't suitable. Cypher will be easier at first, and will do most of what you want with no java code at all.

Neoeclipse is a tool to view, edit, and explore databases. I've never used it though, as the web front end that comes with neo4j is usually enough for me.

If you want to get started writing java programs with neo4j, start here. If you want to write cypher queries that run in a java program, you can find those documentation items here.
