Eclipse Kepler 4.3.2 SR2 is the most recent release from the Eclipse top-level project. It contains what you need to build applications based on Eclipse technology, including integrated development environments IDE, and rich client applications using the Eclipse Rich Client Platform RCP. The Eclipse Kepler provides superior Java editing with Java Development Tools, Plug-in Development Environment, Git Team provider, and much more.

Step 1: Install Java (JRE/JDK)

- First install Java 7 and above if not installed

$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre

or

$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk

Step 2: Download Eclipse Kepler IDE

Eclipse Kepler IDE Download

- Click Save File

- From terminal, run command to move downloaded package to /opt directory

$ sudo mv Downloads/eclipse-* /opt/

Step 3: Extract Package

- Run the following commands. Ensure the file-name is correct on your version

$ cd /opt/$ sudo tar -xvf eclipse-standard-kepler-SR2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz

Step 4: Create new Desktop File

- Create a new desktop file called ‘eclipse.desktop’ in /usr/share/applications/

$ sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/eclipse.desktop

- Then add the following lines to the above file and save

[Desktop Entry]Name=Eclipse Type=ApplicationExec=/opt/eclipse/eclipseTerminal=falseIcon=/opt/eclipse/icon.xpmComment=Integrated Development EnvironmentNoDisplay=falseCategories=Development;IDE;Name[en]=eclipse.desktop

According to cheour, I changed the exec line in the gedit file from

Exec=/opt/eclipse/eclipse 

to

Exec=env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= /opt/eclipse/eclipse 

and it worked right

Step 5: Additional Tasks

cd /usr/local/bin/sudo ln -s /opt/eclipse/eclipse

- For Eclipse icon to be displayed in dash, run following command

sudo cp /opt/eclipse/icon.xpm /usr/share/pixmaps/eclipse.xpm

- Launch Eclipse
