1. Download the Eclipse *installer*, usually named:
eclipse-inst-linux64.tar.gz
2. Unpack it and run eclipse-inst that is inside, just in Nautilus.
3. When done Eclipse should simply be installed in /home/<username>/eclipse
4. The installer might add a desktop file at /usr/share/applications/eclipse.desktop
Edit that file and ensure that the Exec and Icon paths are correct, eg;
Icon=/home/<username>/eclipse/jee-oxygen/eclipse/icon.xpm
Exec=/home/<username>/eclipse/jee-oxygen/eclipse/eclipse
5. Run (this might not be necessary):
desktop-file-install /usr/share/applications/eclipse.desktop
