Cannot install Eclipse [message #1802674]

I have a problem with installing Eclipse
I work with:
MacBook Pro 2018; macOS Mojave
Java 8 update 201
the latest Eclipse

When I first time installs Java and Eclipse, they were fine. But the next time I tried to open Eclipse, it didn't work. Then I uninstall it, but when I install it back, it shows error. The contents it gives me are below.

I've googled it, and got confused.
Can somebody help me solve this problem?
I really appreciate.

In "-vm /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.2.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/../lib/server/libjvm.dylib", which looks like the contents of an eclipse.ini, there should be a new line separating it instead of a space. It also looks like it's trying to use JDK11 instead of the Java 8 version you mentioned. How was this installed?
