Ubuntu – How to fix Eclipse with OpenJDK 9

I have installed OpenJDK 9 in Ubuntu 17.10. I wanted to start developing in Java, and I did setup JAVA_HOME variable and did some stuff I found on the internet. I can compile a Java program and run it, but I cannot install an IDE, which would be really necessary.

The error message is:

An error has occurred. See the log file
/home/erik/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.8_155965261/configuration/1531145712071.log.

The log file contains:
