can anyone help me to solve this problem?

Eclipse 4.7.0 requires a modification to the eclipse.ini to run with Java 9 (or 10). The current Eclipse Photon has full support for Java 9 and 10. — greg-449, Jul 30 '18 at 08:18
@greg-449 I have removed java 9 because my project is in Java 8. in Java 8 everything is working fine. — Arayan Singh, Jul 30 '18 at 08:21

You're using Java 9 so you have to add --add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM to the eclipse.ini

or you can remove Java 9 and use Java 8. It works fine for me.

I had the same issue with Java 11, removed it as instructed in the link in this answer and Eclipse started working as expected – Mike Dec 09 '18 at 15:43
