I take it you know little of .NET then?
.NET is freely downloadable from the Microsoft site and the msdn.microsoft.com website is far, far more than an online manual giving frameworks, best practice methods, online manuals - the lot. If you need an "offline" manual then I've yet to see anything better than MSDN.
As for thr third party SDK's... well, to be honest when I work on projects we all have to use the same thing. If I want to use Visual Age, which has a good Java SDK and you insist on Eclipse that's fine but even still I still counter that only VA comes within a mile of Visual Studio. Seriously. Being able to create Winforms, Web forms simply and debugging code, javascripts, connecting to databases easily, editing and updating tables from one SDK... that's just for starters.
