Hi, I'm trying to run Eclipse for the first time. I've installed Java JDK 9 and this is what I get when I run Eclipse:

An error has occured.

See the log file
/Users/*/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_4.5.0_443765615_macosx_cocoa_x86_64/configuration/1506675657636.log.

None of the released Eclipse versions work out-of-the-box with Java 9; those versions will come next month starting with Oxygen.1a. Follow these instructions to get the older version to work with Java 9: https://wiki.eclipse.org/Configure_Eclipse_for_Java_9#Configure_Eclipse_for_Java_9_modules , or switch back to Java 8 for now. You can use the -vm command line switch to force Eclipse to use a specific JVM executable. You can find more info that at https://help.eclipse.org/oxygen/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/tasks/running_eclipse.htm?cp=0_3_0 .
