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.
