Apparently, newer macOS versions show an error that the downloaded Eclipse.app is broken (which it is not).

This seems to be a workaround:

  • Download the respective ZIP archive
  • Extract it
  • Open a terminal and navigate to the folder containing your extracted Eclipse.app
  • Run xattr -d com.apple.quarantine Eclipse.app
  • The Eclipse.app should now start with a normal double click
