Eclipse installing problem on Ubuntu 16.04

I am a new Ubuntu user who is running Ubuntu 16.04. After I installed Java I tried to install Eclipse, but it gave me this message although I downloaded it from the official website.

Incompatible JVMVersion 1.6.0_45 of the JVM is not suitable for this product.
Version 1.7.0 or greater is required.

You need to install a newer version of OpenJDK to be compatible with the Eclipse file that you downloaded. Open the terminal and type:

sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk 

OpenJDK is a development environment for building applications, applets, and components using the Java programming language.
