I installed eclipse though the ubuntu software center but I experienced some issues and I wanted to install the official eclipse version.
I downloaded eclipse classic 4.2.1 from here:
Extracted it, but if I double click "eclipse" it doesn't do anything.
Any ideas how I can fix this?
my eclipse.ini looks like this
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20120522-1813.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1.200.v20120522-1813
-showsplash
-vm /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/bin/java
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vm
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/bin/java
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m
I also deinstalled openJDK and installed jdk7.

Specify the jvm in eclipse.ini file.
