JDK-9 won't let me use Strings: "java.lang.String is ambiguous"?

java-9

A week ago, every project I had was working normally, but when I updated my Eclipse to the Oxygen version and installed JDK-9, things have come strange. When I try to use Strings, after some time (more like every time I save the project) the compiler throws me an error for every String in my project.

String type being recognized as an ambiguous class

String error

"The type java.lang.String is ambiguous"

So I've tried importing java.lang.String to see if it fix the error:

After the import

String error and import "The package java.lang is accessible from more than one module: java.base, java.base"

Surprise! 🎉

It doesn't :(
I've tried searching these messages on Google and SO but I found nothing...
However, the code running in JDK 8 seems to run normally, check it out:

Changing to JDK 8 (1.8.0_72)

JDK 8 fixin' it all (Code is not showing any errors before the Apply because I've applied, and open up the compiler preferences again for the screenshot)

The console error:

Error: Main method not found in class me.mateusakino.ypul.yPuLTester, please define the main method as:
public static void main(String[] args) or a JavaFX application class must extend javafx.application.Application

EDIT 1 - Main class

enter image description here

EDIT 5 - Stacktrace of the errors on Edit 4 (workspace/.metadata/.log)

EDIT 7:

I could reproduce it in another workspace (Temp Workspace), and here is the .classpath file asked from @howlger:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classpath>
    <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER"/>
    <classpathentry kind="src" path="src"/>
    <classpathentry kind="output" path="bin"/>
</classpath>

EDIT 8 - Eclipse report (Asked by Howlger):

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=526020

Details:

  • OS: Windows 10 Home (64bit)
  • JDK 9.0
  • Initial Eclipse: Oxygen Release (4.7.0) Build id: 20170620-1800
  • Current Eclipse: Oxygen.1a Release (4.7.1a) Build id: 20171005-1200
  • EDIT 4: Project settings:
    • Referenced Libraries: jRegex
    • Encoding: UTF-8
    • Compiler Settings
    • Execution Envieroments
  • EDIT 4: Java 9 Version: build 9+181
  • EDIT 4: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 9+181, mixed mode)
  • EDIT 6: All Eclipse's Plugins
  • If any other information is needed, please ask in the comment section...

What I've tried:

  • Restarting the IDE
  • Searching if there is more than one String in the Java Proposals/Completion (There was only one, java.lang's).
  • Checked the JRE System Library for more than one java.base package (There was only one, from jrt-fs.jar).
  • EDIT 2: adding modules through eclipse.ini
  • EDIT 2: updating eclipse to the version: 4.7.1a (Too many images in this post already)
  • EDIT 3: checked for double JDKs in the project and/or Eclipse preferences (Image link)
  • EDIT 4: Rebuilding java index (didn't work), enabling New Java index and rebuilding again: worked for around 3 minutes, but then this error appeared and the glitches came back again: java.lang.ClassCastException while building
  • EDIT 4: Removing JDK 9 from default library and adding it back again, the same thing from above, but this time it has thrown the error: java.lang.NullPointerException to the workspace, and the String error is still happening, even after restarting the IDE... (BTW, this warning appeared to the package keyword, not sure if it was already here before...)

In the screenshot showing all installed Eclipse plug-ins, I see something very fishy: You have two conflicting features installed:

  • Eclipse Java Development Tools - 3.13.1.v20171009-0... - good
  • Eclipse JDT (Java Development Tools) Patch with Java 9 support (BETA) for Oxygen development stream - 1.1.1.v20170826-05... - not good

From my understanding of Patch features in Eclipse, the second (older) feature could possibly override plug-ins from the former (newer) feature. This would mean still after updating to Oxygen.1a (the official release with Java 9 support) you effectively run a beta version several weeks older.

To double check, you may switch to the Plug-ins tab of the Eclipse Installation Details dialog, and search for "jdt".

This observation could easily explain, why you are still affected by bugs that have been fixed well before the release.

Solution: Please try uninstalling the Patch feature (and check back the Configuration

EDIT: More evidence can be seen in the compiler settings, compliance "9 (BETA)" is a clear indication that you are not running the release version of JDT.

For Java 9 support you need either:

  1. Eclipse Oxygen.1a, available from https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/eclipse-packages/

    or

  2. Manually configure your pre-Oxygen.1a Eclipse with Java 9 support, according to https://wiki.eclipse.org/Configure_Eclipse_for_Java_9

Option 1 is clearly the simpler one, as long as you have control over what version of Eclipse you install and use.
