In my experience, no. I have found that the version of Eclipse available through the Ubuntu package manager is rarely, if ever, the latest. I recommend downloading the tar directly from their website, as Jaikiran does.
Again, Jaikiran is spot on with the install steps. Just unpack the tar somewhere and run the binary right out of the bin/ directory. Then upgrading to a newer version is just a case of unpacking the new tar over the old one.
