1. Download the Eclipse spin that you want to use (for most people here, it's the J2EE one).

2. Unzip it.

3. run the binary "eclipse" program that was unzipped.

Hi Tim,

Thank You Very much for helping me out on this.

I am not a Pro and still in the learning stage.
I am sorry if i am wrong, But i dont think its that easy to Download Eclipse, Unzip and run the Binary.
I followed the steps in this link Install Eclipse in Linux (Thrid party Link)
This doesn't work for me because "Eclipse Mars.2 4.5.2" is not available for Download and its Eclipse Neon. And I think this is where I am making the mistake (@Step 7)


[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Eclipse
Comment=Eclipse Mars.2 4.5.2
Exec=eclipse
Icon=/opt/eclipse/icon.xpm
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=GNOME;Application;Development;
StartupNotify=true

So, I thought I will get an experts advice.

I doubt there's any real difference between Mars and Neon. Odd, I would have expected Neptune. I'm behind. But the essential process hasn't changed in ages.

I don't use Gnome to launch Eclipse, Then again, since Gnome3 came out, I don't use Gnome, I use Cinnamon. Gnome3 took away some essential Gnome2 features I needed for everyday work.

In my case, I just used the Cinnamon "Create a new Launcher" menu and set it up to run eclipse/eclipse (the executable within the folder named "eclipse").

If you're having problems, you need to tell us what the problems are. "It doesn't work" never helps.

That is all that I have had to do -- no actual installation.  I launch eclipse from the command line by running /my/path/to/eclipse/eclipse.  The only addition step I have since I use a different platform for the X server is to set the DISPLAY to point to my workstation (export DISPLAY=fromage:0.0).

Thanks @Tim and @Ron.

I truly appreciate your suggestions.
I think I know where I am failing.
I will give it a try this weekend and get back to you if I run into problems.

Tim, I totally agree that I haven't provided many details (Sorry for that). However, I got no errors (May be logs should give some details - uggh why didn't I think about it)

Thanks and have great Weekend.
