Unable to set PATH variable permanently

Whenever I restart the terminal session the setting is lost and I get the following message:

If ‘eclipse’ is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf eclipse

What is wrong?

Hi
Either create a softlink to the eclipse executable in your ~/bin or add
the path to your ~/.profile you could also create a desktop file.

I do not know where and when you set it. Thus I can not tell if it is extraordinaly that it is not set to your liking at some later, not defined by you, point in time.

But you normaly set the environment variable PATH in a way that it is set for next login sessions in one’s .profile.

How did you install eclipse? If it was installed normally (yast or
zypper) the installer would have taken care of this.
