Eclipse on Linux [message #67177]

I really can't start eclipse (3.0.2) on Linux (AMD 64bit).
Does anybody know the command to start it?

I'm sorry for this kind of question but I just read the eclipse FAQ
question "I have downloaded the Eclipse SDK, but it won't start. How do I
start eclipse?". It gives some JRE version advices for several pltforms,
but always come back to "run eclipse.exe" (I know, I was so desperate that
I even tried on Linux :-).
Is eclipse running on any other platform than Windows?

As the FAQ didn't give any answer, I tried to run the startup.jar file
(didn't start because the manifest file doesn't specify the startup
class). So I opened the startup.jar to find the full path to the main
class and ran the command:
java -cp startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main
but the java process exists almost immediately. I used the JRE version
1.4.2.

Or is it that instead of downloading a binary version I need to compile it
from source code?
