#### Install Eclipse on ubuntu
###### Go to [Eclipse](https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/ "https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/") and download Download [Eclipse C++](http://eclipse.mirror.rafal.ca/technology/epp/downloads/release/oxygen/3a/eclipse-cpp-oxygen-3a-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz "http://eclipse.mirror.rafal.ca/technology/epp/downloads/release/oxygen/3a/eclipse-cpp-oxygen-3a-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz") IDE
and Eclipse for [Java SE](http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/eclipse/technology/epp/downloads/release/oxygen/3a/eclipse-java-oxygen-3a-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz "http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/eclipse/technology/epp/downloads/release/oxygen/3a/eclipse-java-oxygen-3a-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz") 

###### Go to Downloads directory and list floders there

`cd Downloads/ && ls` 

###### We should find the two packages downloaded as 

```
eclipse-cpp-oxygen-3a-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
eclipse-java-oxygen-3a-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
```

###### Now extract eclipse-cpp package and rename it to `eclipse-cpp-oxygen-3a` instead of just `eclipse`

`tar -xvzf eclipse-cpp-oxygen-3a-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz`

and rename it, `mv eclipse eclipse-cpp-oxygen-3a`


###### The same for eclipse-java package extract it and rename to `eclipse-java-oxygen-3a` instead of just `eclipse`

`tar -xvzf eclipse-java-oxygen-3a-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz`

and rename it, `mv eclipse eclipse-java-oxygen-3a`

###### Now copy the extracted packages to `/usr/local/applications`

`sudo mv eclipse-cpp-oxygen-3a /usr/local/bin/eclipse-cpp-oxygen-3a`

`sudo mv eclipse-java-oxygen-3a /usr/local/bin/eclipse-java-oxygen-3a`

#### Make icon launcher for Eclipse

###### To make a desktop icon launcher go to on `usr/share/applications` 

###### Create the file using `sudo touch usr/share/applications/eclipse-cpp.desktop`
and edit it using nano `sudo nano /usr/share/applications/eclipse-cpp.desktop`

Paste these edits and save the file
```
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Name=Eclipse-C++
Icon=/usr/local/bin/eclipse-cpp-oxygen-3a/icon.xpm
Exec="/usr/local/bin/eclipse-cpp-oxygen-3a/eclipse"
Comment=Eclipse for c++
Categories=Development;
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=true
```

We should see `eclipse-c++` icon launcher now 

###### The same for `Eclipse-java` create `.desktop` file and edit it using `nano` 

`sudo nano /usr/share/applications/eclipse-java.desktop`

```
[Desktop Entry]
