Hi,

Did you download Eclipse from Software Center on Ubuntu?

Hi,

My bad, I didn't see the "manually" part of your question. Please check if you have eclipse executable in /opt/eclipse folder first. If you don't have search for the executable location and set the path as below.

Exec=/opt/eclipse/your_eclipse_executable_location
sudo ln -s /opt/eclipse/your_eclipse_executable_location

If you already have executable present in /opt/eclipse then try changing the access to it.

chmod +x /opt/eclipse/eclipse

Hmm, something seems wrong in you Eclipse installation. Let me see if I understand this correctly. You downloaded a tar.gz file from the Eclipse download site and unpacked it to /opt. Is that correct? Or did you download a .zip file?

Also, post the output to this command:

ls -al /opt

Finally, what JDK are you using and how did you install it?

Where did you get a .tar file? The only Linux downloads I see on the Eclipse download page are all tar.gz files.

Open a terminal and enter:

java -version

And post the results. (I suspect you might not have changed the /usr/bin/java softlink to reference the JDK 7 java that you installed.)

You also did not post the 'ls' output I asked for.
