Cannot connect to VM | Socket closed [message #1849401]

Hello everyone!
I just started to learn how to use Eclipse to create mods for Minecraft 1.12.2 (please take this seriously :) I set up the workspace by downloading mcp (Minecraft Coder Pack) and installed JDK 8 Update 311.
+ all additional stuff in this tutorial:
youtu.be/_TUUWdv8OO4 (links are blocked from me)

Then when I started the "Debug Client" in Eclipse I got the error:

Cannot connect to VM.
Socket closed

Unrecognized option: -Xincgc

Is it even possible to run Eclipse without a virtual machine and how? (if i'm asking stupid questions, sorry)
And if not, how can I fix this error?

I don't know what part of the build the error is in, so ask me all the information you need.

It's like this question where the answer specifically mentions the "Minecraft launcher".

Thank you!

Solution:
1. Go to
mcp940\eclipse\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.debug.core\.launches
2. Open Client.launch
3. Paste
<stringAttribute key="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.VM_ARGUMENTS" value="-Xmx1024M -Xms1024M"/>
instead of
<stringAttribute key="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.VM_ARGUMENTS" value="-Xincgc -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M"/>
