    what happens when you run it? can you post the error message if any? do you have java installed (required to run eclipse)?

    actually i have not installed java. I dont know the exact rpm file to be download. when i run
    ./eclipse
    it displays no such file or directoryand there is no eclipse file on opt folder.
    Does it mean that eclipse is not downloaded properly ?
    If so plz tell me what to do?

    Thanks

    opt is not necessarily where it got installed, i would think it was installed into /usr/share/eclipse most likely

    ./eclipse attempts to run a file named eclipse in the current directory, you need to run just eclipse unless you are in the directory where the executable lies

    probably you need to download and install the JDK you want to use from sun website
