There are several ways to start Eclipse in Linux.

  1. Launch through command line: open the terminal, navigate to the installation directory of Eclipse, and run the command ./eclipse to start Eclipse.
  2. Create a desktop shortcut: Right-click on the desktop, select “Create Launcher” or “Create Shortcut”, then enter the command /path/to/eclipse/eclipse, and save it. Now you can simply click on the shortcut on the desktop to launch Eclipse.
  3. Add to the application menu: Copy the file eclipse.desktop from the installation directory of Eclipse to the directory /usr/share/applications/, then find and click on Eclipse to launch it from the application menu.

Please replace /path/to/eclipse/ with the actual installation directory of Eclipse in the above method.
