How to get Eclipse running on El Capitan?

I have a fresh install of El Capitan. I have installed Java 8 from java.com. I have downloaded eclipse. When I go to run it, I get the error message:

To open "Eclipse-inst" you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime

There has to be another way other then installing an ancient version of Java on this machine to get the latested Eclipse. All I am seeking to do is some Django development with PyDev.

Install Java 6 from Apple. It includes propietary APIs made by apple. Java 6 should install fine along with your current java version.
