Before installing Eclipse IDE please install JDK9
The current version of the Eclipse IDE can be downloaded at 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.
Please Run the installer to get eclipse installed on your machine.
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.
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).
