Answer 1

Unzip again. Make sure that your unzip tool extracts directories. This error is typical for unzipping to a flat folder structure.

Answer 2

Happened to me too, because I tried to run the eclipse before the unzip process has finished.

Make sure that the unzip process has finished.

Answer 3

You might want to check that library org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_.dist.jar and plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_.dist exists on your system.

Make sure that the version of libraries mentioned in eclipse.ini and the version that exists on your system is same. Usually after upgrade this mismatch occurs and eclipse fails to locate the required jar. Please take a look at this blog post here

Answer 4

In eclipse.ini, I noticed some paths contained dashes, which denote a new arguement. It is a simple fix:

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20140415-2008.jar   
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.200.v20150204-1316

must be:

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v201404152008.jar   
--launcher.library

plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.200.v201502041316

But, you must also do the same to the actual files. Hope this helps!
