JVM error when debugging xslt with Eclipse

Question

I am trying to debug an xslt 2.0 with Eclipse which worked fine previously. Now I guess I messed things up with a new Eclipse or java version because when I right click on my xslt and choose 'Debug as xslt transformation', after confirming 'the JRE instance default XSLT processor does not support debugging. Would you like to debug using the default Xalan 2.71 processor instead?'

I get an error dialog:

Error: could not create the java virtual machine. Error: a fatal exception has occured. Program will exit. Cannot connect to VM com.sun.jdi.connect.TransportTimeoutException

In the console it shows: -Djava.endorsed.dirs=D:\Users\Michael\eclipse-workspace.metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.xsl.jaxp.launching\endorsed is not supported. Endorsed standards and standalone APIs in modular form will be supported via the concept of upgradeable modules.

I've tried reinstalling Eclipse & reinstalling Java . Setting my system variable JAVA_HOME to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.1\bin. (Environment variable is: %JAVA_HOME%\bin)

This is a bug. You'll need to report it. Setting the default version of Java on your machine to Java 8 or older might work around it.
