[FIXED] Getting error while starting Tomcat Server 9 in Eclipse though command line run is successfull

Issue

enter image description hereI recently installed Apache Tomcat and am able to start Tomcat Server from command line but while starting from Eclipse I get these errors:

Server Tomcat v9.0 Server at localhost was unable to start within 45 seconds. If the server requires more time, try increasing the timeout in the server editor.

Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit. -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/Library/Tomcat/endorsed is not supported. Endorsed standards and standalone APIs in modular form will be supported via the concept of upgradeable modules.

I have java 10 and jdk jdk-10.0.1, Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.

Version: Oxygen.3a Release (4.7.3a)

I tried everything from these posts:

Eclipse "Server Locations" section disabled and need to change to use Tomcat installation

I could not find .snap file from this directory

.metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources to delete it

There is no temp file in this directory

.metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core it just has 2 temp folders

I also updated Eclipse Oxygen by launching link https://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/oxygen/ in Help to no avail.

Attaching some screens

I am held up testing my code so immediate help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Solution

This bug has already been fixed in Photon and newer: https://bugs.eclipse.org/533162

I'd also suggest a supported release of Java, like 11, instead of 10.
