I am running Ubuntu 18.04.3 and I am attempting to install Eclipse. I downloaded and extracted the installer but when I attempted to run it Oomph stated that it could not find Java.

Oracle Java 12.0.2 is installed and both the PATH and JAVA_HOME have been set.
When I do

java -version

it gives me the following output:

j

ava version "12.0.2" 2019-07-16
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 12.0.2+10)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 12.0.2+10, mixed mode, sharing

)

What could I be doing wrong?

You're using the installer you got from here:

https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

And you're running it from this same shell where this PATH is set up properly?

As an alternative you can download a package from here:

https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/

But the native executable is the same one as used by the installer, so running it will likely suffer the same problem...

I am using a different shell but I have set the appropriate settings in .bashrc so I should have the same environment. I have verified that the changes to .bashrc do work. I intend to see if using Java 11 gives the same problem.
