I am trying to install Eclipse IDE using a file eclipse-rcp-kepler-SR1-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz

I have followed all the steps mentioned in How to install Eclipse?

But I am still not able to launch Eclipse:

error : cannot execute binary file

I have already installed jdk 1.7.

  • Hi, now error is removed but after launching nothing is happening... I can't see any splash window coming. just some id is being generated every time like 7774 – deepak patwal Dec 28 '13 at 18:28

Eclipse is provided by Main Ubuntu Repository. Best method to install is in that way.

It can be installed by :

sudo apt-get install eclipse eclipse-jdt eclipse-pde openjdk-7-jre eclipse-platform junit junit4  libhamcrest-java libasm3-java openjdk-7-jre-headless

  • You can install applications easily with sudo apt-get install <package name> command. Most of the freely available applications are in Official Ubuntu Repository. You have to search here before search in web. Software Center is having a copy of that repository. You can either easily install apps with it. If you new to ubuntu and need more guide there are some posts I have made here –  Dec 28 '13 at 19:22
  • Hi Dumindu. Please tell me how to install the latest oracle version in Ubuntu 13.10 – deepak patwal Dec 29 '13 at 08:28
  • Oracle java is not given by Ubuntu main repository. It doesn't support all the open source platforms. best is open jdk. If you want to somehow install it, you can use webupd8team repository and install it. Follow this answer for it. –  Dec 29 '13 at 09:45
