FWIW I've been running eclipse on debian desktops and laptops ince 2013. Initially I used the deb packaged version, but that was so antiquated compared to the current eclipse version at the time, that I moved to eclipse's own installer and have used that since then, installing under $HOME/eclipse/ (I am the only user on these debian systems anyway).
