It's easy. Once you have the Eclipse (3.7 is safe to use), you go Help/Install New Software, and in the first field you add a new update site: http://ddt.eclipselabs.org.codespot.com/git.updates/
Click the DDT project and OK.
Don't forget to specify the DMD/GDC executable package (Window/Preferences/DDT/Compilers). On Windows, with DMD you have to give the path:
<path-to-dmd-installation>\dmd2\windows\bin\dmd.exe
And it is ready to work! (The compiler doesn't come in bundle so you need to have DMD installed on your box, which you most likely have already).
I would like to persuade you to have a closer look on the DDT project. It is cross-platform, and though Eclipse is slow because of Java, it has everything what a programmer needs. There's a big need for people improving the DDT project. VisualD is so far the most well equipped IDE, but it is also a sort of dead-end in cross-platform sense because the underlying IDE can not be ported to linux/mac.
QtCreator also a good choice (especially if I can get the QtD building on Linux box :) ).

Tried it, but because of little experience with Eclipse I didn't manage to install it.DDT, a plugin for Eclipse is an alternative.
