What's in the eclipse-ini of your installation? It will contain a -vm option and if you're failing to launch, it perhaps points at an inappropriate version of Java so you could try pointing it at the version of Java you want it to use.

The -vm argument's value suggests to me that it's using "/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin", i.e., Java 11. But this value should be the same value that was used to launch the installer and that launched okay. You can try changing this value to another version of Java you have on your machine or removing it so that Eclipse will use whatever is on your PATH.

For the benefit of my understanding and the next guy with the problem, what did you do to fix the problem in your case?

I tried reinstalling it more than one time but what fixed it is not pressing the launch button when the installation finished i just opened the executable launcher from the eclipse folder and cancelled the installation window... wired i know but it worked
