## Download, install and configure Eclipse Oxygen for JDK9 | ||
|
||
### Prerequisite | ||
|
||
Before installing Eclipse IDE please install JDK9 | ||
|
||
#### Download Eclipse Oxygen | ||
|
||
The current version of the Eclipse IDE can be downloaded at [https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/](https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/). | ||
|
||
Depending on the OS a file **eclipse-inst-[mac/linux][64/32].tgz** (Linux/Mac OSX) or **eclipse-inst-[win][64/32].zip** will be downloaded. | ||
|
||
Please unpack that file and you will get an installer for the current eclipse version. | ||
|
||
#### Install | ||
|
||
Please Run the installer to get eclipse installed on your machine. | ||
|
||
#### Configure Eclipse for running with JDK9(ea) | ||
|
||
The Eclipse installer will automatically find the most current JDK version and configure the the Eclipse launcher to use it. | ||
|
||
Though Eclipse is not able to use JDK9 out of the box because of missing dependencies. | ||
|
||
To get Eclipse started, those missing dependencies (missing modules) have to be provided. | ||
|
||
This is done by adding the line: | ||
|
||
**--add-modules=java.se.ee** | ||
|
||
to the file **eclipse.ini** in the Eclipse installation. | ||
|
||
##### Mac OSX | ||
|
||
The file **eclipse.ini** is located in the installed **eclipse.app** package. | ||
|
||
To change the content of the file browse to your installation folder | ||
|
||
**e.g.: /Applications/jee-oxygen/** and perform a right click on eclipse.app. | ||
|
||
In the popup menu choose **show package contents** and navigate to **./Contents/Eclipse**. | ||
|
||
Open eclipse.ini with your preferred text editor and add the line: | ||
|
||
**--add-modules=java.se.ee** | ||
|
||
to the end of the file (last line in **-vmargs** block). | ||
