salesforce developement in eclipse

I am a java programmer I am trying out the tutorials on forceIDE  

 

can I do my complete development in eclipse without using the   http://na7.salesforce.com/--  App setup   ?

the tutorial I found is  http://www.developerforce.com/tdf/2008/april/Tutorial2_ForcecomWorkbook_v1_2_051608.pdf

this turorial shows about creating a custom object in eclipse and making changes it takes to web browser,

 

can I change all the properties of an object using eclipse UI than going to web  browser?

In my experience, it's rare to do 100% development in eclipse, unless you are just working in apex and visualforce. I find for things like page layouts on objects, reports, etc. you could do most of it using metadata but I find it easier and quicker to use the browser and reserve eclipse for code development and creating fields on objects. Also there usually end up being some configuration that needs to be done browser side, especially with sharing and permissions. At the vmforce fireside chat at DF10, this issue was raised, i.e. the non-smoothness of deployments because not everything can be done via metadata and properties files like we are used to in java. They claim they are working on it.
