Install it using the Ubuntu Software Centre and not through the Eclipse website. Or alternatively, open a terminal by pressing alt + F2 and type sudo apt-get install eclipse it might ask for your administrator password and tell you the file size, all you have to do is agree by typing 'y' then it will be installed automatically.

In case you want to use the file that you have downloaded, telling us what kind of file it is would help us give you the necessary instructions. For example it might be a tarball or a gzip archive.

There are no exe's on Linux! Simply unzip the version you downloaded (32 or 64 bit), put the new eclipse folder to some location (e.g. /opt), and run /opt/eclipse/eclipse - voilá. Make sure you have the correct JDK installed (Sun JDK or OpenJDK) in the correct flavour (32/64 bit - depending on the version of eclipse you downloaded).
