Eclipse latest version is Galileo and its not available from ubuntu archive I just finished installing it on my machine i thought I will share instructions with my readers.
So here we have a step by step instruction to install Eclipse Galileo (3.5) on Ubuntu mine is Hardy
Lets start with creating a directory where we want to install
cd /bin/ide
you can manually download the installable from one of the available mirrors or you can use wget for same I prefer using wget
than we need to unzip the contents of the zip file and we are almost done
You can set the eclipse executable to your path
This is not the best way to do it but still does the job alternatively you can create a simple shell file and keep it in bin directory whcih just calls eclipse and you are good to go.

Thanks, pretty useful.
For eclipse, one of the most useful shortcut keys is ‘Ctrl + Shift + L’. It opens up a menu of all shortcuts and their description.
I am glad that you found it useful.
Thanks for the shortcut I didn’t knew about it thats really cool
if i wanna install the PHP plugin using the “update manager”, it will be download/install on my home directory?… i mean.. under /home/danilo=D/.eclipse <<

I am glad you found it useful, thanks for adding it.
I am sorry but I did not get you , installing plugin from update manager installs it on standard location which is generally inside your eclipse install directory.
