"java.lang.module.InvalidModuleDescriptorException: Provider class org.apache.bsf.BSFManager not in module" error with ChromeDriver Selenium

I am using eclipse 09-2019 with jdk13 and selenium 3.0.1 .jar file.

My Code is: 

package package1;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class Script1
{
      public static void main(String[] args)
      {
          System.out.println("Hii");
          System.setProperty("Webdriver.chrome.driver","E:\\Selenium\\chromedriver.exe");
          WebDriver driver=new ChromeDriver();
          driver.get("http://www.google.com");
      }
}

Error:

    With

    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","E:\\Selenium\\chromedriver.exe");

    Additional Consideration
