I am getting error while trying to add JDK 11 to eclipse oxygen 4.7.0 M2.
I also checked on Eclipse Market Place but there is not plug in available for JDK11 support.
Any suggestion to fix this error ?

You may need to update to 4.7.3, or Photon. – KevinO Oct 29 '18 at 02:29

Oxygen is too old and as mentioned in the answer using Milestone releases is also bad practice. Use Eclipse 2018-09 with the Java 11 patch. – greg-449 Oct 29 '18 at 08:08

Basically, start by updating to 2018-09 and then that Marketplace entry. JDK 9 support was only added after Oxygen released with Oxygen.1a. A milestone during development won't support Java 9 or any newer release.
In general, please do not keep using a milestone for a release once that release has actually, well, been released.

Thanks. Issue is fixed now. I performed following steps : (1).Installed all updates. So current version of eclipse is 4.7.3a. (2) Went to "Help -> Install new software". Added new Eclipse update url : http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.9-P-builds (3) Installed again all supporting software related to JDK 11. And it fixed my problem. – Gunjan Shah Oct 30 '18 at 02:37
