The configuration tools do not constitute an IDE. They exist only to
configure and build eCos itself, generating (primarily) a library
libtarget.a which you then need to link with your application. You can
use whatever development environment you want to for building the
application itself.

All this information is in the Getting Started Guide, which is part of
the installation or can be read online at
http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/docs-latest/tutorials/arm/ecos-tutorial.2.html

You probably want to read the whole thing to understand how it all
fits together. Details of how to develop applications are in the
Programming Tutorial part of that guide,
http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/docs-latest/tutorials/arm/ecos-tutorial.10.html

"The remaining chapters of this document compromise a simple tutorial
for configuring and building eCos, building and running eCos tests,
and finally building three stand-alone example programs which use the
eCos API to perform some simple tasks."
