Easy compared to what?
This is more an easier to install than an easier to use version of
eclipse. They've packaged up a variety of different configurations
into an installer, and they give you an uninstaller. So instead of
picking over the partial packages at eclipse.org and unzipping them
into the correct folder, you just go through the usual install dialog.
But by tuning the installs to different target audiences they do
simplify the use by leaving out the unnecessary parts for each target
audience. The "java expert" package just gives you the Java
Development Environment, which is way easier to navigate than the
default package that eclipse.org gives you with plugins and source.
But I don't see much easification beyond that.
