eclipse.exe is a Windows run file. It should not do anything sensible on Linux (Ubuntu).

Please download Eclipse installer suitable for your Linux (32 or 64 bits, according to your installation), and use it to install Eclipse.

Where did you get it?
The linux versions are all tar.gz files which have no .exe files.

You can install Eclipse using the installer: https://eclipse.org/downloads/
Explained here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/695382/how-to-install-eclipse-using-its-installer
The explanation is a bit old but likely still works.

You could also download from the list of all releases: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/all
Choosing Oxygen-R: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/Oxygen/R
Along with CDT (Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers) and selecting the linux version from the list to its right
Linux 32: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/oxygen/R/eclipse-cpp-oxygen-R-linux-gtk.tar.gz
Linux 64: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/oxygen/R/eclipse-cpp-oxygen-R-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz

Using one of the latter, just expand the downloaded tar.gz somewhere using a GUI or tar command.
the executable is then <somewhere>/eclipse/eclipse
I renamed the top directory to indicate the Eclipse version: mv <somewhere>/eclipse <somewhere>/eclipse-oxygen-R
which makes the executable: <somewhere>/eclipse-oxygen-R/eclipse

I use /opt as my <somewhere> directory but
made the owner:group of /opt/eclipse-oxygen-R root:eclipse and placed myself in the eclipse group.
I actually created the directory using sudo mkdir /opt/eclipse-oxygen-R first
then expanded the eclipse directory in the downloaded tar.gz file into it.
