Install Eclipse on Ubuntu - I have a mobile application project using IBM Worklight. A tools like phonegap (maybe) so we can develop an application using html5 and can use for many mobile operating system . So i decided to use Eclipse for IDE, because eclipse is an application from IBM too. I think it's compatible for this project.

Download eclipse 4.2.2 for working with IBM Worklight, because this earlier version doesn't supported. I know it from eclipse marketplace. On this post i will share how to install eclipse on Ubuntu manually, because if you are using Ubuntu Software Center you just get 3.8 version. After download eclipse 4.2.2, follow this step to install
