Manual Install Eclipse - Ubuntu

I'm tired of searching in the internet on how to manually install eclipse. I am not using the Ubuntu Software Center to download eclipse because I want the Eclipse Helios to be installed.

1. Download the Eclipse Helios. You can download any package you want. I downloaded the eclipse-jee-helios-linux-gtk.tar.gz 
2. Extract and copy it to the /opt directory
   

   
   sudo tar -vxzf eclipse-SDK-3.7-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz -C /opt
   cd /opt
   sudo chown -R root:root eclipse
   sudo chmod -R +r eclipse
   
   

3. You can also change the root:root to user:user
4. Create an executable
   

   sudo touch /usr/bin/eclipse
   sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/eclipse
   sudo gedit /usr/bin/eclipse

5. Paste this to gedit and save
   

   #!/bin/sh
   #export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME="/usr/lib/mozilla/"
   export ECLIPSE_HOME="/opt/eclipse"
   
   $ECLIPSE_HOME/eclipse $*
   

6. Create a shortcut
   

   sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/eclipse.desktop
   

7. Paste to gedit
   

   [Desktop Entry]
   Encoding=UTF-8
   Name=Eclipse
   Comment=Eclipse IDE
   Exec=eclipse
   Icon=/opt/eclipse/icon.xpm
   Terminal=false
   Type=Application
   Categories=GNOME;Application;Development;
   StartupNotify=true
   

8. And launch Eclipse for the first time
   

   sudo eclipse/eclipse -clean
