Revision as of 03:24, 2 June 2017 by Manoj.palat.in.ibm.com (Talk | contribs)
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. This page describes how to do this. Since Java 9 comes in a modularized form, some initial configuration needs to be done in the eclipse configuration file eclipse.ini.
add the following lines (without the quotes) in eclipse.ini file
- add -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 on
- 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.
