Hi, I have a 32-bit ARM embedded computer and would like to install Eclipse on it. I only need to develop with C/C++ and I have those compilers already in place.

I installed java, at least I think I did:

$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_65"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_65-b17)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.65-b01, mixed mode)

Same goes for Apache Ant:
$ ant -version
Apache Ant(TM) version 1.9.6 compiled on June 29 2015

I already tried the binaries from Eclipse but they won't run on my system:
sh: ./eclipse: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

The file command for the eclipse binary shows:
ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, not stripped

I think I need something more like this:
ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, not stripped

I'm running a pretty bare linux with xfce interface.
$ uname -a
Linux duovero 3.18.18-custom #1 SMP Tue Oct 27 06:21:01 EDT 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux

So far I managed to compile/install all the things I need but I'm hitting a dead end with Eclipse.

Do you have any recommendations? I don't even know which source to get, it seems there are so many Eclipse sources, it's just confusing to me.
