NOTE:

i.  The Java SDK should be installed before

e.g.

JDK6 (JRE alone is not sufficient)

Installing the sun-java6-jdk

The Sun JDK is no longer in Ubuntu's main package repository.

In order to download it, you need to add the appropriate repository and indicate to the system which JDK should be used.

Java 6: for Gingerbread and newer

$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"

$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://cz.archive.Ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-updates main multiverse"

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

ii. The proper version of eclipse should be download

e.g.

eclipse-SDK-3.7.2-linux-gtk.tar.gz---------------for 32bit ubuntu

eclipse-SDK-3.7.2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz----for 64bt ubuntu

<Then End>
