add the following lines (without the quotes) in eclipse.ini file

- Add the line "-vmargs" if not present
- Under -vmargs, add "--add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM". By now, if you should be able to launch eclipse.
- If you encounter an exception such as IllegalAccessException or InaccessibleObjectException, add "--permit-illegal-access" additionally after the -vmargs.
Please note the following:
- The idea is to use Java 9 to launch eclipse, and this page describes just that - nothing more nothing less.
- Java 9 features are not shipped standard with 4.7, you need to install that separately from MarketPlace
