Eclipse Installer: can not initialize cryptographic mechanism

I have OpenJDK 9 installed on my computer and I am attempting to install Eclipse. However, I get an error every time I start the installer:

Is there any way to fix this so I can install eclipse?

I was struggling with a very similar problem and found the solution (your problem had the same cause and can be fixed the same way). After installing Eclipse on Ubuntu 17.04 with JDK 9, I got the following error on startup: Loading available Gradle versions has encountered a problem and Details button reveals this error:
An internal error occurred during: "Loading available Gradle versions".
Could not initialize class sun.security.ssl.SSLContextImpl$DefaultSSLContext
Later you can get related errors when working with Eclipse.
As I found out after looking very similar problem in docker, the problem is in Ubuntu 17.04 JDK installation (build 9-Ubuntu+0-9b161-1) where there is no /conf directory. This should be fixed in newer JDK build in Ubuntu 17.10.
So far you have 2 options to fix this yourself:
(easy method, fakes conf directory with symlink): create symlink inside JDK 9 directory (for me it is /usr/lib/jvm/default-java) with following command: sudo ln -sn lib conf
As security policy files are under /lib, this fixes the problem.
(more complex, solves the problem by installing alternative JDK with proper /conf directory): download JDK 9 from Oracle and install into some arbitrary folder; then add this folder to PATH (e.g. in .bashrc); then change JAVA_HOME to this folder in /etc/environment

See how to configure Eclipse (Installer) for Java 9 or download an Eclipse package directly instead of using the Eclipse installer.

Eclipse Neon won't start due to Provisioning exception

I am having problems starting the standard Eclipse Neon IDE. I am running Eclipse Neon 1 with Java jdk 1.8.0. After rebooting my computer, Eclipse won't start (no new plugins / software were install during last usage). I tried deleting everything in .metadata/.plugins/ per this question but it still won't start up. Please help.
P.S. the date of the log seems to be off; I am not sure why but this is the only !SESSION in this log file.
Here is a partial copy of the .metadata/.log file.

Update
After opening the CMD with Administrator privilege and running either
> java -version
or
> java
both responded with
Error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object
So I guess that something is wrong with my java installation, not eclipse.

There might be several problems for eclipse to fail on start but in you case this ProvisionException occurs may be because of the you didn't cleared proxy or your network connection is set to Ditect it should be Native. And also check SSH certificates
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_45\jre\lib\security
if not found then get it. Please check once you are running eclipse having same architecture means on 32-bit jdk there should be 32-bit eclipse or it won't work.
If you have more than one jre then check eclipse referring to which one. Hope this will help you.

Solved. The problem was with my java installation.
First, I try changing the system environment variable path to only
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_131\bin;
This failed, resulting in the same java error message. Then I 'reverted' to an older java installation changing both JAVA_HOME and path to
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_102\bin;
This works fine and solves the problem.
For reference, these links also helped me.

Eclipse won't run using sudo

I'm running eclipse Indigo on Ubuntu 12.04 and it runs fine normally. I'm trying to get it to use the var/www web server directory for some php development though and since that's owned by root I need to run eclipse using sudo. Whenever I do I get the error:

I have the libswt-gtk files stored at /home/user/.swt/lib/linux/ and also at /usr/lib/jni/ but I assume for the error log that eclipse is looking for them in the root file directory itself? How do I change this path?

If I recall correctly for UIs there's gksudo. Not sure if it comes pre-installed in the latest versions of Ubuntu, so you might need to sudo apt-get install gksudo first

Try Making a symbolic link in your root directory to point to the one in your user directory.
ln -s /home/user/.swt/ /root/.swt/

The application.conf for the application and all dependent modules are set to java.source=1.6
sudo $JAVA_HOME/bin/java -version yields java version "1.6.0_26"
I've even pointed /System/Java/Home to the 1.6 installation.
What else could be causing this?

Which Java version(s) do you have in your PATH? We got a similar issue (not with Play, though) in which all the settings of the application seemed to point to 1.6 but the PATH had a reference to 1.5 that was loaded first due to its position inside the PATH string.
Check your PATH. And, I'm not a Mac user, but it's necessary to use sudo? In Ubuntu I run Play without. If possible, this may help to reduce unexpected conflicts due to root user paths and configuration.

Trouble with Eclipse

I installed Eclipse Helios and m2eclipse. Next I created a maven project. Now Eclipse goes crazy. It leaks all the time, goes in endless loops (continously 50% CPU), throws PermGen Space Errors and crashes. I can't work.
I tried to substitute the JDK with an older version, the same with maven and the same with eclipse. I also changed the size of my PermGen Space.
Has somebody an Idea what's wrong? Or does that remembers somebody about a known bug? May there be a problem with my Windows XP?

Update
I installed Eclipse + m2eclipse with Pulse. And it works now. Thank you

I've recently done to same thing - installed Helios with m2eclipse (on XP) with nothing of the above happening. So it's your local problem. Try to:
delete your installation and make it anew
try not creating a maven project, but rather creating a simple project, adding a pom, and enabling maven capabilities (via right click)

Check your eclipse.ini file. From your posted log I see this:
Framework arguments: -product
org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product
-XX:PermSize=128M -XX:MaxPermSize=256m
Those are supposed to be VM arguments, not program arguments. If they were properly specified as vm arguments then you shouldn't see them there in the log.
Make sure they are below the -vmargs in the eclipse.ini file. Also make sure every argument is on its own line. Look at this question for examples.
Also well, if you are running Java 6 update 21, take a look at this.

I was facing exactly same problem except that mine was 64 bit OS and 64 bit eclipse with 64 bit JDK 1.6.0_26 update.
After refering to various forums, I re-installed the JDK to an older version.. JDK 1.6.0_17 and got rid of the Out of memory error.
Hope that helps.

It also helps to install the 32 bit and 64 bit JDKs. I did this and it fixed my eclipse perm gen space errors for some reason...

Another option, that has worked for me, is to adding in Run->Debug configurations...->(Your Maven build)->JRE tab->VM arguments some VM arguments:
-Xms512m -Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:NewSize=128m
Hope this help...

I also received this error and found it was due to the fact that I renamed my eclipse executable from default name when unzipped -> 'eclipse.exe' . The new name contained spaces, so not sure if it is related....
