Make sure to how to configure Eclipse for Java 9, specifically configuring the eclipse.ini file:

Your eclipse.ini should contain something like:

--launcher.appendVmargs
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-9\bin\javaw.exe
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8
--add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM

Have you added the path to your -vm and and added ALL-SYSTEM modules?

E.g. in eclipse.ini

-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-9\bin\javaw.exe
...
...
--add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM
