I'm using a 2017 MacBook Pro with macOS Mojave version 10.14.3. I'm trying to install Eclipse 4.4 in order to use the GGTS plugin.
I downloaded the installation file from eclipse home page and unzipped it to a folder named "eclipse", by default.
I moved Eclipse.app to the Applications folder, but when I start the program, it showed an error dialog saying Eclipse quit unexpectedly.
However, when I run eclipse from the terminal, it worked out just fine, so I'm confused what's the underlying problem with this.
Here's the log

I've been searching for solutions everywhere but haven't found any. If you neeed more information about the error, or have any suggestion, please let me know. This is getting rather frustrating for me.
Thanks in advance!
This is due to an incorrect installation (see Eclipse bug 390071).
Eclipse 4.4 (Luna) was not a proper macOS application. You must move the complete Eclipse directory to /Applications rather than just Eclipse.app
Starting from Eclipse 4.5 (Mars) Eclipse is packaged as a proper app.
