Could you please add a little more detail? What exactly did you do to install and then run Eclipse, what did you expect to happen and what happened instead? Did you encounter any warning or error messages? Please reproduce them in their entirety in your question. You can select, copy and paste terminal content and most dialogue messages in Ubuntu. Please edit your post to add information instead of posting a comment. (see How do I ask a good question?)

I recommend installing the Eclipse snap package which is also more up-to-date (Eclipse IDE for Java Developers version 4.7.3):
sudo snap install eclipse --classic
