Whoa: "Software currently installed: Eclipse Platform 3.7.0.debbuild" -> 
That seems to be a really old version of Eclipse (and some weird custom 
Debian build?). You need Eclipse 4.5 (Mars) or later.

I recommend downloading Eclipse directly from 
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ . The minimum distribution you need is 
the Platform Runtime ( 
http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.5-201506032000/#PlatformRuntime 
), but you can also download another distribution with more tools - like 
a Git client, XML editor, other IDEs, etc..
