How do I add a library in Eclipse?

Question

I downloaded the Gson library from http://code.google.com/p/google-gson/. The archive contains the following jar files:

google-gson-1.3/gson-1.3-javadoc.jar
google-gson-1.3/gson-1.3.jar
google-gson-1.3/gson-1.3-sources.jar

How do I set my Eclipse to be able to use the package in my projects? Where do I put the documentation?
