Never, never, never, never, never, never get Eclipse from any OS distro
unless your platform is so bizarre that they have to create a special
package to get it to work. Always and ever get Eclipse from eclipse.org.

As I had stated in my initial post, the archive wont even extract without breaking.
On a side note, apt-get installs eclipse beautifully for me without any issues whatsoever, so I can't say I understand your reasoning in that regard.

Okay that makes sense regarding packaging.
I'm glad extraction works okay for you, however I'm apparently not so lucky. As are quite a many other people, as can be observed via a simple google search of: Linux Eclipse Unexpected EOF in archive.
I understand that not everyone here is a Linux guru, but the reason I'm directing my inquiry here is because it is only this specific archive that's causing me problems.
