Eclipse Oxygen fails to start

Question

I am using Eclipse Oxygen for the first time in order to develop my Java code. I have already installed Java 9 and its SE Development Kit.

But when I am trying to launch it, it's giving me the below log:

Any help regarding this will be appreciated.

Answer 1

I think you need to make some modifications in your “eclipse.ini” file by adding the below line after -vmargs line:

--add-modules=java.se.ee

This will add all the missing classes in the Java 9 module.

But, if you use Eclipse Oxygen (4.7.1) or more, I think you won’t face this issue any more as it comes with full support for Java 9.

Hope this helps!!
