Current releases of Eclipse Oxygen have to be modified to work with Java 9 as described in the Eclipse Wiki — greg I was having problems with eclipse oxygen, and I saw another win 10 problem solved by going to older eclipse versions.

Should I get Java 8 or modify eclipse oxygen? Never mind, I got bored and got eclipse oxygen. Then I followed the wiki link and it works! Thanks very much! Sign up or log in Sign up using Google. Sign up using Facebook. Sign up using Email and Password.

My greatest concern - that I had somehow deleted my workspace and lost my code - has been put to rest.

Should I be using a different argument? Tue, 11 July No, a lack of visible output is normal for javaw. The easiest suggestion is to download a new bit Oxygen package, unpack it somewhere other than under "Program Files" that your user owns and not modify the eclipse. I've already tried installing the bit Oxygen package on my F: drive and launching it from there by clicking on eclipse.

For what it's worth, I tried installing Netbeans 8. I wrote a HelloWorld and executed it successfully. It's using the same JDK as my Eclipse installations so that should eliminate any number of possible reasons for the weird behaviour I'm getting with Eclipse.

I clicked on eclipse. Then it crashed silently. When I clicked on eclipse. In other words, it's behaving exactly the same as it did on the C: drive. I am losing my mind trying to figure out what is wrong here. The eclipse workspace seems fine too: I can import Eclipse projects into Netbeans just as the help screen describes and the resulting project looks intact. So what else can be wrong? I hope this isn't going to offend you but I've lost the better part of three days messing with this so I'm going to reach out to some other places to see if I can get some more minds working on this in the hopes of a quick resolution to the problem.

I will deeply regret the time lost to the learning curve of getting on to Netbeans but I may have no choice. Wed, 12 July What kind of filesystem is the F drive? What tool are you using to unzip the download? The tool I use for unzipping is the "Extract All" option on the Windows context menu in my Downloads folder, which has never given me any problems.

Fri, 14 July I have some additional information on my situation, as well as some questions. First, I downloaded a bunch of JavaFX samples some time last week consisting partly of some standalone jars.

Last week, they ran perfectly fine simply by double-clicking on them. Now, they don't run at all. When I clicked on "Open With Second, I've already mentioned that my problem only began several days after I had made some changes to my environment variables.

I assumed that those changes couldn't have anything to do with the problem because I'd used Eclipse without difficulty for several days after those changes. It suddenly dawned on me that I'd omitted mentioning one key thing: I don't reboot Windows very often, rarely more than a couple of times a month. I'm pretty sure that I did not reboot Windows in between the time I made the environment variable changes and the emergence of my problem with Eclipse.

I don't know how to get rid of it. I did that. Now there are no repeating entries in the environment variables and no double entries for java.. I cleaned it all up, eclipse still crashes.
