Eclipse shows empty error message with Java 9

I have installed the Java 9 plugin. My project hasn't changed, but when I try to run, I get this:Empty error dialog

Solution

  • Seems like a configuration issue as per my understanding. There are two possible causes/solution to it:

    1. From the logs:

      Root exception:
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
    at com.jniwrapper.util.ProcessorInfo.b(SourceFile:95)
Caused by: com.jniwrapper.LibraryNotFoundException: Cannot find JNIWrapper native library (jniwrap64.dll) in java.library.path:

      Eclipse is not able to configure the java.library.path properly, in which case you can try setting the VM argument using the following on the command line:

      -Djava.library.path="${workspace_loc:project}\lib;${env_var:PATH}"

      Check out How to add native library to "java.library.path" with Eclipse launch (instead of overriding it) for further details and platform specific solutions.

      && make sure you include the path to jdk-9 early access build that should ideally be a must for the plugin used based out of Java9.

    2. Also, the log reads 

      !ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 0 2017-08-27 09:22:31.358
!MESSAGE Unhandled event loop exception
!STACK 0
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: -1

    at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Widget.java:1079)

      For the pertaining code, you might want to look into the implementation of createGameField at GameField.java:217. If this wasn't specifically occurring on previous java version for you then solving (1) should get rid of this or else you might want to give the solutions at Eclipse Bug: Unhandled event loop exception No more handles a try.
