   Next follow with Ubuntu Eclipse Installation.

   For a System wide installation we make the superUser as owner:

   sudo chown -R root:root /tmp/eclipse

   Authenticate with the User Admin Pass.
   If Got “User is Not in Sudoers file” then see: How to Enable sudo
   Then we Move the Eclipse content into the /opt Directory with:

   sudo mv /tmp/eclipse /opt/

   Again make a Symlink to put Eclipse into the working Path:

   sudo ln -s /opt/eclipse/eclipse /usr/local/bin/eclipse
