Assuming you extracted the downloaded eclipse package and created a working eclipse.desktop launcher file, then your eclipse still needs at least an installed JRE (Java Runtime Environment) or an installed JDK (Java Development Kit - OpenJDK or OracleJDK) to work...
I would recommend you to install OracleJDK if you develop with Java as well, otherwise you only need the OracleJRE... I can post the instructions how to do this in a very clean way, if you need them...
Eclipse should locate your installed JRE/JDK automatically, if everything is installed properly... alternatively you can tell eclipse, where to find the JRE/JDK:
open the eclipse.ini file with gedit (in your extracted eclipse folder) and edit it as follows:
...
openFile
--launcher.appendVmargs
# add these lines ----------------------------------------
-vm
/path-to-jre-or-jdk-folder/jdk1.8.0_version/bin
# --------------------------------------------------------
-vmargs
...
Replace 'path-to-jre-or-jdk-folder' with the real path on your computer and replace 'version' with the version number of your installed JRE/JDK...
