Java9 in Eclipse 4.6 Neon

Posted by Jim Ma on March 23, 2017

If you have tried install JRE9 runtime, you’ll find the Java 9 support stuff can be only found for the next eclipse release(Oxygen). To get the java 9 support in Neon, follow the following steps:

  • Download and instlal Neon packages directly from Neon3.RC3 and don’t use an installer
  • launch eclipse and Go to Help->Install New Software and pointed this site http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.6-P-builds to install all stuff like

Java9 for neon

I don’t understand why the java9 support thing can be found in marketplace for eclipse oxygen and not for already released neon.
