Did the following to run eclipse with 1.8 you change the version accordingly to 1.7

  1. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa
  2. sudo apt-get update
  3. sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
  4. Run $ sudo update-alternatives --config java

and enter the number for which JDK to use of your choice. Select option "0" or the one you need.

  1. Check java version "java -version

Now you should be able to run Eclipse
