Eclipse will not run correctly and stops suddenly

Newly, I've installed an application named Afra (https://rebeca-lang.org/alltools/Afra) which it seems have been developed based on Eclipse. When I'm going to run it won't start and errors below appear in the log file :

(for more information, I use a 64-bit version of windows 10 plus java 10)

This looks very much like Afra is based on an older Eclipse platform, and it is caused by using Java 10 instead of Java 8 to run it.

You can do one of the following:

  • Add Java 8 (64-bit) to the Afra installation, e.g. by download this ZIP file, create the subfolder jre in the Afra installation directory and extract the ZIP into it, so that <Afra-installation-dir>\jre\bin\java.exe exists
  • Install Java 8 (64-bit) into your system and make sure that Afra runs with it, e.g. by download a Java 8 (64-bit) JDK or JRE from e.g. AdoptOpenJDK.net, install it and in the case it is not used to run Afra, edit the *.ini file of Afra
