Eclipse "Java was started but returned exit code=1" with OpenJDK

Question

I'm trying to install eclipse(eclipse jee oxygen 4.7) in my system(64 bit). Unfortunately i don't have java JDK and JRE. I'm left out with only OpenJDK 11.0.1. Is there any way to configure eclipse with OpenJDK. Below is my eclipse.ini

-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.v20170511-1520
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product
-showsplash
org.eclipse.epp.package.common
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile

Eclipse 4.7 was released in 2017 doesn't support Java 11 which was released in 2018.

Either downgrade to Java 8 or use a newer Eclipse version that supports Java 11. See Eclipse/Installation wiki for further information.

I have OpenJDK 9.0.4,10.0.1,11.0.1,12 & 13. Does any of this helps?

@Crazy2crack You could try OpenJDK 9 and see if it works but do note that Java 9 is no longer supported. Using Eclipse 4.11 with Java 11 would be a better idea due to Java 11 being LTS.
