I had Installed Eclipse in /opt/eclipse
in Linux Mint 18.2 cinnamon with openjdk-9 (please don't tell me switch over oracle jdk). Whenever I click on Eclipse icon this window shows up:
Here is the content of that window:
JVM terminated. Exit code=1 /usr/bin/java -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8 -Dosgi.instance.area.default=@user.home/eclipse-workspace -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+UseStringDeduplication --add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8 -Xms256m -Xmx1024m --add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM -jar /opt/eclipse//plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.4.0.v20161219-1356.jar -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86_64 -showsplash /opt/eclipse//plugins/org.eclipse.epp.package.common_4.7.1.20171005-1200/splash.bmp -launcher /opt/eclipse/eclipse -name Eclipse --launcher.library /opt/eclipse//plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1.550.v20170928-1359/eclipse_1629.so -startup /opt/eclipse//plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.4.0.v20161219-1356.jar --launcher.appendVmargs -exitdata 828016 -product org.eclipse.epp.package.java.product -vm /usr/bin/java -vmargs -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8 -Dosgi.instance.area.default=@user.home/eclipse-workspace -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+UseStringDeduplication --add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8 -Xms256m -Xmx1024m --add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM -jar /opt/eclipse//plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.4.0.v20161219-1356.jar
Here is my Java:
$java -version openjdk version "9-internal" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 9-internal+0-2016-04-14-195246.buildd.src) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 9-internal+0-2016-04-14-195246.buildd.src, mixed mode)
Also when I type the same command in /opt/eclipse
I get this:
/opt/eclipse $ java -version Error occurred during initialization of VM java.lang.Error: Properties init: Could not determine current working directory. at java.lang.System.initProperties(java.base/Native Method) at java.lang.System.initPhase1(java.base/System.java:1850)
when I try to open it from terminal I get this:-
$ eclipse Unrecognized option: --add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit. Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.
