I am not a newbie to either Java programming or Eclipse. That said I've been looking at the OpenJDK Early Access builds and downloaded the latest to give it a once over. My problem started when I tried to run Eclipse to compile a test program. Eclipse died before really starting with an error stating that it didn't have a -XMaxPermSize parameter. After some digging I discovered that the MaxPermSize parameter to the Java vm was deprecated in Java 8 and has been removed in JDK 9 (see here: httx://openjdk.java.net/jeps/122).

JEPS-122 says to just remove the parameter for it to work, but how do I remove that from Eclipse as it is built into the startup? If this post could be moved/redirected to the teams that need to know I would appreciate it. And if they would tell me on the forum or email me how to fix it, I would appreciate that to! Very Happy

Check the eclipse.ini for -XX:PermSize=64M (after -vmargs) and remove it. The eclipse.ini should have --launcher.XXMaxPermSize that tells the Eclipse launcher to determine if JVM supports -XX:PermSize and passes it on if if does.

That said, if you have not come across Wayne Beaton's blog posts on the subject, you may want to use them as a starting point, see https://waynebeaton.wordpress.com/2015/12/07/running-eclipse-neon-on-a-custom-java-9-image/

I should add if you want to launch Java 9 code from within Eclipse I think you need to install Java 9 Beta support (linked from Wayne's post): http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/java-9-support-beta-neon

Do yourself a favor and don't start learning a new language with an not
yet released version of java who brings with it a vast amount of changes
(you most likely only use if you are really deep down in java).

The main concepts you need to start learning have not changed between
Java8 and 9 all you might discover are not yet finished tools!
