My advice would be to:
a: write down that actual version number - perhaps there is a mismatch 
between what the installer is requesting and what is actually present ?

b: check that the files in question are definitely readable by the same 
machine:
1. boot the same machine, perhaps by booting the dvd and appending 
rescue, or using a live cd etc.
2. mount the dvd
3. cp the eclipse-nls* files from the dvd/packages folder to somewhere else.
4. save the attached eclipse.sha1sum to the same location
5. sha1sum -c eclipse.sha1sum

Did all files pass [OK].

c: workaround file read issue by not trying the install eclipse during 
the installation (do it after you boot up). You may find there are 
further disk reading problems though. This could be because it is an 
aging dvd drive, or it might have trouble once it gets hot etc.
