Using eclipse from the start might be a questionable choice, but for the rest there's no best answer. Either take the 'take it as a given' approach or start with explaining objects and classes and and and... About half of my fellow students are total beginners who've never written or even read a single line of code. To them everything is new, and they need to filter the essentials from the distractions, so less distractions is a real help.
Here Java is taught first, many in the class were programming beginners, and indeed objects and classes came into it very early - that was the point of teaching Java .. introducing OOP ideas first up. We didn't use eclipse, but rather BlueJ (a very stripped down alternative designed for teaching and again making the OOP nature of the language very apparent). C came next, without using an IDE, and taking a very different look at programming techniques.
