Linux / Eclipse氧气/项目错误

Question

I'm new to Linux(in general, but Mint specifically), but was able to muddle through getting eclipse to open (Java version openjdk version "9-internal"), Running Eclipse Oxygen1.A. (I had to end up editing the eclipse.ini as mentioned in some other posts to get the application to start (eg: remove -add ALL MODULES, etc.)

The program starts fine now, but get the following errors when creating a project: (see below)

I've tried creating new workspaces, without any luck.. I was attempting to create a Java9 project, but also tried creating Java8 projects just for measure..

Any recommendations or suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any/all suggestions. (PS: probably worth mentioning my core experience is in Windows, and I've configured the new Oxygen/Java9 in the windows 10 OS to behave as expected..)

Answer 1

Fixed! When using the Oomph installer for Eclipse, needed to point to the newly installed JDK9.0.1.... For whatever reason the "openJDK 9-Interal" that was present/defaulting wasn't working... If anyone else struggles with a similar issue setting up eclipse on Mint, I recommend getting a clean/fresh JDK off of java.com, and carefully configure the Oomph installer (make sure both are 64-bit), and point it to this JDK instead of the default..
