The official version of eclipse that supports Java 9 is v4.7.1a (Notice the "a" at the end)
The release notes are here
It is available since October 11
This version also includes support for JUnit 5
You can download it here as before

I had the same problem. I downloaded the newest Eclipse, 4.7.1, and could not add a JRE/JDK 9.

This is what I did to solve the problem: Help -> Check for Updates. Three updates were found. I installed the first one, "Eclipse for RCP and RAP Developers", and voilà!

I could finally add a JRE/JDK 9. It worked via both "Add..." and "Search..." buttons.

Add Java 9 support for Oxygen. Read this link. Java 9 stable release has launched only today. So it is not yet available in the base Oxygen package. If you are in a hurry to use Java 9 with Eclipse, you can download the support patch from market place.
