I'm unable to get eclipse to launch.
It throws the error: "See the log file .../eclipse-workspace/.metadata/.log"

/usr/libexec/java_home --verbose
Matching Java Virtual Machines (2):
    13.0.2, x86_64:	"Java SE 13.0.2"	/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-13.0.2.jdk/Contents/Home
    1.8.0_51, x86_64:	"Java SE 8"	/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_51.jdk/Contents/Home


I've since deleted Java SE 8

Per the sticky post at the top I've already been into the eclipse.ini file and added
-vm
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-13.0.2.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java


However, I'm still getting the error.
When I open the log file, I find this output :

I don't know what else to do at this point.

Running with a more recent release of Java 1.8, or switching to the current version of that package, would probably work fine.
