  1. As Marcos Roriz and Thomas Ward said in the comments

    That happens because eclipse writes a lot of temp and plugin files and /usr/local is recommended to not allow apps to write (that is only read and execute there)

    You may have better luck just saving Eclipse down onto your user directory - it does still operate from the user directory, even though you may want to place it in /usr/ or elsewhere. This is what I do to use it :/

  2. install your eclipse in your home directory or /usr/local/ directory :D
