Minecraft Forge mod - log in as player in development enviroment

Question

I am developing a Minecraft mod with Forge, and I need to test it on a server. How do I log in with my Minecraft account so that I can join a server? The IDE I am using is Eclipse, and the workspace is set up using this tutorial (standard forge setup).

Thanks in advance.
