    Eclipse Oxygen requires at least Java 8 to run even if you set `osgi.requiredJavaVersio` to `1.7`. – howlger May 28 '18 at 06:10

    Java 8 or higher should be used as per @howlger see here: https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse/Installation#Eclipse_4.7_.28Oxygen.29 – Deepak Sharma May 28 '18 at 06:15

    Thanks for all your help. It Worked after java 8 installation.i like to understand how the changes made to eclipse.ini reflects in the eclipse error message image i posted. i had added -vm... to eclipse.ini but the -vm values in the error image is different from the one i entered into the eclipse.ini – Explain Down Vote May 28 '18 at 07:01

    `-vm` have to be specified directly before `-vmargs`: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini#Specifying_the_JVM – howlger May 28 '18 at 07:51

Eclipse Oxygen requires at least Java 8 to run even if osgi.requiredJavaVersion is set to 1.7.

In eclipse.ini the parameter -vm must be used directly before -vmargs. For details see Eclipse Wiki: Eclipse.ini - Specifying the JVM.
