Unable to start eclipse on linux server

I installed the eclipse in linux server, While starting the eclipse I am getting the below error.

Command-line arguments:  -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86_64 -product org.eclipse.epp.package.java.product

!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2014-11-27 15:32:33.157

What might be the reason for this? I access that linux server through putty. Thanks

To run applications on the remote machine and display it on your local machine, login to remote machine using following ssh command .

ssh -X username@hostIp

I've made this mistake in the past plenty. Chances are your X server (that packaged with cygwin or a software like Xming) is not running. Ensure it is running first and then try to launch eclipse over SSH.
