JShell is a new feature that came with Java 9, so make sure you have installed the latest JDK if you want to use it. JShell allows you to run single Java statements immediately, instead of having to create, compile and run a class. So it's quite useful for trying things out, especially when learning. You can read more here

You don't need an IDE to run JShell, you can do it in the console. But if you want to use it in Eclipse, here is a link that should get you started.
