“An error has occurred. See the log file .metadata/.log.” CANT FIND METADATA FILE

I'm panicking a lot because I just installed JDK 9 and tried to run eclipse and got this error. I looked for the metadata file and can't find it. I'm scared of losing all my work I don't know what to do. I'm using mac os.
This is my ini file, not sure how i can edit it
-startup

STS Java exit code 13

I've reviewed previous answers for this type of question, and have tried to act according to the answers given but still come up with this problem.
I've deleted previous versions of Eclipse and installed the 64-bit version in line with my OS, ensured JRE is for 64-bit.
Below, is my STS.ini
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.200.v20160318-1642.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.1.400.v20160518-1444

And for eclipse:
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.200.v20160318-1642.jar
--launcher.library
C:\Users\KIDS\.p2\pool\plugins\org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.400.v20160518-1444

Absence of -vm is since I added that before all the re-installing but with the new installations the same problem occurs.

The STS.ini is for 32 bit – greg-449

Limited BigInteger in eclipse

In Eclipse, I get a value for BigInteger.valueOf(2).pow(31093), but not for BigInteger.valueOf(2).pow(31094) (its empty).
I edited my eclipse.ini like this:
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20130327-1440.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.200.v20140116-2212
-product

-showsplash

--launcher.defaultAction
openFile

-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.7
-XX:+UseParallelGC
-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m
-XX:PermSize=1024M
On other computers I succeeded. Is eclipse still the problem or there is something else?

If it interest anyone - The problem is a bug of the Console view in Eclipse.
Printing very big BigIntegers - same problem. The workaround works.
