For working with Scala in Windows 10 I use Scala IDE build on Eclipse SDK. Build-id is 4.7.1.
I have installed Java 9 and when I wanted to run Scala IDE I got an error message saying I should check the log file C:\marko\workspace\.metadata\.log.
The error message was
!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2018-01-27 18:28:41.327 !MESSAGE Application error !STACK 1 org.eclipse.e4.core.di.InjectionException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/annotation/PostConstruct at org.eclipse.e4.core.internal.di.InjectorImpl.internalMake(InjectorImpl.java:410) at org.eclipse.e4.core.internal.di.InjectorImpl.make(InjectorImpl.java:318) at org.eclipse.e4.core.contexts.ContextInjectionFactory.make(ContextInjectionFactory.java:162) at org.eclipse.e4.ui.internal.workbench.swt.E4Application.createDefaultHeadlessContext(E4Application.java:491) at org.eclipse.e4.ui.internal.workbench.swt.E4Application.createDefaultContext(E4Application.java:505) at org.eclipse.e4.ui.internal.workbench.swt.E4Application.createE4Workbench(E4Application.java:204) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.lambda$3(Workbench.java:614) at org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable.Realm.runWithDefault(Realm.java:336) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.createAndRunWorkbench(Workbench.java:594) at org.eclipse.ui.PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench(PlatformUI.java:148) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.application.IDEApplication.start(IDEApplication.java:151) at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.app.EclipseAppHandle.run(EclipseAppHandle.java:196) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.runApplication(EclipseAppLauncher.java:134) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.start(EclipseAppLauncher.java:104) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:388) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:243) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.invokeFramework(Main.java:653) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:590) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:1499) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:1472) Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/annotation/PostConstruct at org.eclipse.e4.core.internal.di.InjectorImpl.inject(InjectorImpl.java:124) at org.eclipse.e4.core.internal.di.InjectorImpl.internalMake(InjectorImpl.java:399) ... 23 more Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.annotation.PostConstruct cannot be found by org.eclipse.e4.core.di_1.6.100.v20170421-1418 at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.BundleLoader.findClassInternal(BundleLoader.java:433) at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.BundleLoader.findClass(BundleLoader.java:395) at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.BundleLoader.findClass(BundleLoader.java:387) at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.ModuleClassLoader.loadClass(ModuleClassLoader.java:150) at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) ... 25 more
After some googling I found out I have to make some changes to the eclipse.ini file. The following snippet shows my eclipse.ini file with changes. Scala IDE start now the way it should.
--launcher.appendVmargs -vm C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-9.0.1\bin\javaw.exe -startup plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.4.0.v20161219-1356.jar --launcher.library plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.500.v20170531-1133 -vmargs -Xmx2G -Xms200m -XX:MaxPermSize=384m -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8 --add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM
Highlighted code was added so that Scala IDE could work on Java 9.
That works, thanks
