I work in a government building, so I don't have access to install new software of any kind. I have to work with what I have. As of right now I am on a custom version of Centos 7 that I have no control over, and a copy of Eclipse Oxygen 3a April 2018 and I cannot seem to get it to work on Java 10.0.2.
Here is the log file exceptions:

/home/me/.eclipse/Before they moved me to Centos 7 to save on Redhat liscenses I was able to get eclipse to work by sourcing rh/devtoolset-4/enable but this is no longer available to me.
As far as I can see from other examples, Eclipse Oxygen 3a is Java 10 capable. I do have --add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM in my -vmargs in the eclipse.ini as is suggested in other question's answers. I cannot for the life of me figure out why Eclipse fails to load with this log upon selecting a workspace.
Just to make things clear, I cannot install a new version of eclipse, or reinstall this version. The files don't belong to me. I cannot install another version of Java. I have Java 8, 10, and 11 available, as well as openJDK 7. Nothing else is available to work with.
JAVA_HOME is set to Java 11, but this does not affect Eclipse, as it doesn't use JAVA_HOME, but our product does, and it needs Java 11.
What is it I am missing from the eclipse.ini to get it working?
21 Answer
I solved the problem. It was in the path variable. For some reason Eclipse Oxygen 3a needs to have Java 1.8 in it's path, even though it uses Java 1.10.
With the transition to Centos, apparently the path to Java 1.8 was changed, and I hadn't updated that.
