you don't open the bytecode, you run the main class with the java virtual machine. For example if I had a program who's main method was located in the RunMe class I would go into a DOS prompt (or terminal for you Linux people) and enter "java RunMe" in the correct directory, of course. If you want something that you can double click and have your program run you need to make a .jar file, which is easy as crapping your pants in eclipse. You just go to export, select jar file from the window that pops up, tell it what you want to export and most importantly, which class has the main method. Then it'll make a handy little .jar that will function the same as an .exe.
