I've read that it's bad to run gui applications from a terminal using sudo.



In order to administer some eclipse updates, I need elevated privileges (view screenshot).
How do I do this correctly?

To run GUI applications as root you should not be using sudo, but instead use gksu.
In this particular case run gksu eclipse, then enter your password.
