Launching Eclipse 4.7 with Java 9: You have downloaded an early access version of Java 9 and would like to launch eclipse Oxygen 4.7 with this version.
You need to add the a few lines in eclipse.ini file
• -vm <path to java> : for example -vm D:\JDKs\jdk-9-ea+169_windows-x64_bin\jdk9\jdk-9\bin\ - This is the standard procedure for running with any JDK other than the standard one • Add -vmargs option 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.
