Neon: how to run on jdk9?
Solution 1:
Edit: You can download the latest version of eclipse which has support for Java 9 - https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/eclipse-packages/
I am running Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 9-ea+158) and eclipse Version: Neon.2 Release (4.6.2) - Build id: 20161208-0600
Somehow the solutions with -Djdk.launcher.addmods= and -addmods using values java.se.ee or java.annotations.common did not work.
Below is the solution that worked for me:
--add-modules=java.se.ee

Solution 2:
Whoever is facing the same Eclipse crash issue with the Java 11, none of the above solutions seem to work.
Here is the error:
org.eclipse.e4.core.di.InjectionException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/annotation/PostConstruct
As mentioned here https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=533390, this issue is fixed with the Eclipse Photon 4.8.
Here is the workaround mentioned https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=533390#c22. However, this just a short-term workaround so it's better to update the eclipse to 4.8
Steps:
- Go to eclipse config.ini file, which you find here /Applications/Eclipse_4.7.2 .app/Contents/Eclipse/configuration/config.ini
- Add the below content

Solution 3:
To get rid of the java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.annotation.PostConstruct issue, try adding the following line under -vmargs in your eclipse.ini:
-Djdk.launcher.addmods=java.annotations.common
(Will change to --add-modules=java.annotations.common in JDK 9 EA build 132)
See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=493761
UPDATE: Since this answer, more things changed, I am currently running Eclipse with JDK 9 b177 and these added vmargs: --add-modules=java.xml.bind,java.xml.ws.annotation
Solution 4:
Add the following line at the end of eclipse.ini
--add-modules=java.se.ee
