I have installed eclipse in my new system Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with apt-get install eclipse; but when i'm trying to execute eclipse I got this message on dialog box:An error occured And the app stops running.

And in the the log file from Eclipse I see this:

!SESSION Thu Apr 11 12:43:08 GMT 2019 ------------------------------------------

Based on this answer you can do this:

In your config.ini file of eclipse eclipse\configuration\config.ini check this three things:

osgi.framework=file\:plugins\\org.eclipse.osgi_3.4.2.R34x_v20080826-1230.jar
osgi.bundles=reference\:file\:org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator_1.0.0.v20080604.jar@1\:start
org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator.configUrl=file\:org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator\\bundles.info

And check whether these jars are in place or not, the jar files depend upon your version of eclipse

You can install OpenJDK 8 using instructions from this answer. Also there you will find the way to use alternatives.

sudo update-alternatives --config java
sudo update-alternatives --config javac
