Minecraft 1.12.2 Forge on Eclipse won't run. Even after I've tried countless different tutorials and recommendations

I've been wanted to start making my own Minecraft mod but I can't even get past the first step which is to start the game with a template mod. I've downloaded the forge mdk for 1.12.2, I've downloaded jdk-8u291, I've downloaded jre-8u291 but nothing! I've made progress though. Originally the Template was showing errors but I fixed it. I think I'm one step away from accomplishing this but I'm at a roadblock.

I have an unmodified version of the forge mdk for 1.12.2, but every time I get to the final step of eclipse where to set the run Configuration to runClient and change {MC_VERSION} to 1.12, I get this error in the console.

You say "I've downloaded jdk-8u291, I've downloaded jre-8u291", but you didn't use them correctly. The relevant part of your error is java.lang.ClassCastException: class jdk.internal.loader.ClassLoaders$AppClassLoader cannot be cast to class java.net.URLClassLoader (jdk.internal.loader.ClassLoaders$AppClassLoader and java.net.URLClassLoader are in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap'), which occurs when you try to run Minecraft 1.12.2 on a version of Java newer than 8. You're not using Java 8 even though you have it installed. Try uninstalling all other versions of Java so that you'll definitely use Java 8.
