I have downloaded Eclipse indigo 64bit tar file and extracted it, for my Ubuntu 12.04, I have JDK 1.7 installed in my system, when I am doing:

java -Version
bash: /home/rd00/Development/jdk1.7.0/bin/java: cannot execute binary file

and

echo $PATH
/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/home/rd00/Development/jdk1.7.0/bin

is showing, but when I am clicking on eclipse it is not starting, I have given my JDK path in eclipse.ini also , but no use, need help .

    do you get any output when you run eclipse from terminal. If yes can you provide that in your question please. – hingev Feb 14 '13 at 12:33
  • How did you install java? It says it cannot execute the java binary and its in your home folder, so did you manually extract and install? – jobin Feb 14 '13 at 14:00

Seems like you didn't install Java correctly. Follow this guide to install Oracle Java on Ubuntu 12.04 or alternatively install openjdk by running: 

 sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
