I'm trying to get my hands dirty with Ubuntu and Eclipse. Going through manuals and online guides, I was able to install Ubuntu 13.04 and Eclipse Juno, but when I try to run Eclipse, it tells me that I need to install JRE first. I went ahead and tried the following (after consulting some more manuals):

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre

but it ends up with an error telling about some missing dependencies. Same thing happens if I replace jre with jdk in the above command. I tried to install through Software Center too, but that results in the same error as well; graphical version though :).

EDIT

Here is the exact error message (when installing through Software Center:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

openjdk-7-jre: 

Depends: openjdk-7-jre-headless (= 7u25-2.3.10-1ubuntu0.13.04.2) but 7u25-2.3.10-1ubuntu0.13.04.2 is to be installed
Depends: libgif4 (>= 4.1.4) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libjpeg8 (>= 8c) but 8c-2ubuntu7 is to be installed
Depends: libpulse0 (>= 1:0.99.1) but 1:3.0-0ubuntu6 is to be installed
Depends: libatk-wrapper-java-jni (>= 0.30.4-0ubuntu2) but it is not going to be installed

Interestingly, Ubuntu acknowledges this to be a problem and asks me whether I want to report it. Secondly, as evident from apt-get manual, Software Center should installs all dependencies automatically.
