Install adbWireless, available from the Android market. This application will only work on a rooted device (code for adbWireless is available on github).
From within eclipse, choose 'Help->Install New Software...' and select the site
http://ppareit.github.com/AdbConnect/
as update site.
Run adbWireless, there is also a widget available. Note the IP-address and port number.
(Re)start Eclipse. Select the menu 'Window->Preferences' and go to 'Android/Adb Connect'. Insert the correct IP-address and Port number. For instance as IP-address '192.168.1.103' and as port number '5555'. Choose 'OK' to close the preferences. There should be a toolbar with a button of a little Android with the body replaced by an antenna. Press the button, if the antenna goes from grey to red, connection is established.
