Well, I just downloaded the latest Eclipse and the Archive Utility had no trouble expanding it into my Downloads folder, so I've failed to replicate the problem. I'd first try the download again. If AU fails to open it again, go into the terminal and try unzip ( > unzip /path/to/eclipse-jee-indigo-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.tar.gz)
where /path/to is probably something like /Users/yourusername/Desktop or /Users/yourusername/Downloads You might also try gunzip, which is the gnu utility. I'm not sure what the differences are, but they seem to be distinct utilities for the same purpose - perhaps one will be better at coping with your particular situation than the other.
