I installed Ubuntu 15.04 on the VM and I have downloaded Eclipse Luna.
When I try to install it, this error occurs:

An error has occurred.
See the log file /home/master/.eclipse/1473617060_linux_gtk_x86_64/configuration/1442224462970.log

Can you help me to fix it? Thanks

You can also use ubuntu-make to easily install Eclipse on Ubuntu.

Ubuntu Make is a command line tool which allows you to download the latest version of popular developer tools on your installation, installing it longside all the required dependencies (which will only ask for root access if you don't have all the required dependencies installed already), enable multi-arch on your system if you are on a 64 bit machine, integrate it with the Unity launcher… Basically, one command to get your system ready to develop with! - Ubuntu Wiki

Installing Ubuntu Make :

Ubuntu make is already in official Ubuntu 15.04 repositories, run :

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-make

Installing Eclipse :

umake ide eclipse

Update

Instead using the next steps, you could also use the new Eclipse Installer, and have a look at this answer.

  1. Check your Java installation with

    java -version

    you should see something like this

    java version "1.8.0_60"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-b27)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 25.60-b23, mixed mode)

    If necessary install Java

    sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk

  2. Remove your Eclipse installation

  3. Download a newer version of eclipse here, eg. Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers 64-bit.

  4. Extract the archive

    Replace the filename id necessary

    sudo tar xf eclipse-jee-mars-R-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz -C /opt

  5. Create a desktop file

    nano ~/.local/share/applications/eclipse.desktop

    and add the configuration below

    [Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Eclipse JEE
Comment=Eclipse Integrated Development Environment
Icon=eclipse
Exec=/opt/eclipse/eclipse
StartupNotify=true
StartupWMClass=Eclipse-JEE

    12 Oct 2015 - Update with regards to eclipse.desktop: The value for icon in eclipse.desktop should be path to icon.xpm instead of just eclipse. In my case, the absolute path was /opt/eclipse/icon.xpm.

  6. Start eclipse via your launcher

Tested in 15.04 as VM and in a native 15.04 installation.
