Jules:
Did you see this page on clojure-doc.org before?
http://clojure-doc.org/articles/tutorials/eclipse.html
I don't know if it covers any of the difficulties you found, or documents
anything that you'd like to see documented, but Michael Klishin and others that
maintain clojure-doc.org content would likely be quite willing to accept any
enhancements to that documentation that you would suggest.
