Cannot build Eclipse RCP project with Tycho and Java 9

Question

My Eclipse RCP Maven project builds fine with Java 8, but fails with Java 9:

Any ideas how to resolve this error? I tried to set MAVEN_OPTS=--add-modules java.se.ee but this didn't help.

My JDK version is 9-ea+175.

UPDATE

I upgraded tycho version from 0.25.0 to 1.0.0. Now the build starts fine but fails later with hundreds of errors like:

... Compilation failure:
The type java.lang.Object cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files

@KarlRichter Unfortunately no. This is a huge proprietary project. — ZhekaKozlov, Jun 23 '17 at 02:16
I also get `The type java.lang.Object cannot be resolved. ` maven-compiler-plugin 3.6.1 1.8 1.8 jdt org.eclipse.tycho tycho-compiler-jdt 1.0.0 ` — michaldo, Jul 21 '17 at 07:17
@ZhekaKozlov Did you happen to see [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18075343/java-project-in-eclipse-the-type-java-lang-object-cannot-be-resolved-it-is-ind) after the update? — Naman, Oct 08 '17 at 18:23
@nullpointer This build error has nothing to do with Eclipse IDE. I'm running it from the command line with Maven. — ZhekaKozlov, Oct 09 '17 at 04:23
@ZhekaKozlov Not though eclipse, but cleaning the project using maven doesn't help? — Naman, Oct 09 '17 at 05:37
@nullpointer I think tycho just doesn't support Java 9 yet: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=514471 — ZhekaKozlov, Oct 09 '17 at 05:54

This can be because of the few plugins/bundles which were not available during the Runtime/debug. Please visit your project "Run Configurations.." and go to Plug-ins tab. Enable the below plug-ins

 1. org.eclipse.equinox.ds
 2. org.eclipse.team.core
 3. org.eclipse.ui.trace
 4. org.eclipse.equinox.util
 5. org.eclipse.equinox.common

and then you click on "Add Required Plug-ins" button present in the right side and click Apply and Run the application again.

Similar kind of bug has been already reported in eclipse Eclipse Bug. You can refer this also.
