Linux error message with eclipse

[Azzah44100]

Hey guys i recently installed linux mint rafaela 17.2 on my laptop along with windows 8 (dual booting) and i went to install eclipse through the software manager but it is very outdated so i downloaded it through the eclipse website (mars 4.5) and updated my java to JDK1.8 i installed tem both and linux recognises the install of java but it doesnt run eclipse it just gives me this error message:

 

Java HotSpot Server VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=256m; support was removed in 8.0

Java HotSpot Server VM warning: You have loaded library /opt/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1.300.v20150602-1417/eclipse_1612.so which might have disabled stack guard. The VM will try to fix the stack guard now.
It's highly recommended that you fix the library with 'execstack -c ', or link it with '-z noexecstack'.
org.eclipse.m2e.logback.configuration: The org.eclipse.m2e.logback.configuration bundle was activated before the state location was initialized. Will retry after the state location is initialized.

 

 

And this one through eclipse:

Does anyone know how to fix this issue? i asked my computing teacher at school and he said he has never seen it before.

Did you try what it recommended? To fix the library with "execstack -c" or to link it with "-z noexecstack"?

 

If those fail, it looks like you are trying to run the 32bit version. Is your system 64bit?

yes i tried that but it didnt let me just gave another error cant remember what it said now.

 

i am quite certain i was running 64 bit version of eclipse so there shouldnt have been an issue there. but i seem to have fixed it now it seems that mint 17.2 didnt like java 8 so i uninstalled it and reinstalled java 7 and it works now.
