Which Java Runtime Environment version are you using? Have you tried using different versions? — snrlx

i've got the last java version. I have updated java 2 days ago without problems.. I had eclipse opened and i never closed it. Yesterday i restarted eclipse and i got the error. At this point i think the problem is java.. Right? Do you think it's better try with java 6? — David_D

This is at least what I would try. I tried googling for eclipse's exit code 8 and couldn't find valueable results, yet. — snrlx

It is probably because you are using incompatible JVMs. You probably ran an update the settings were changed in the background. This is what worked for me:

1) Run: sudo update-alternatives --config java

2) Choose a different JVM

the correct syntax is "sudo update-alternatives --config java" thanks for the suggestion

It should need java files/resources to install

Type

1)java -version

if it shows not found...

then type

2)export PATH=/home/Desktop/jdk1.8.0_111/bin:$PATH

3)java -version

then it displays (java version "1.8.0_111" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_111-b14) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 25.111-b14, mixed mode))

4)now try installing by typing ./eclipse after going to the path
