In order to test if a project is ready for java 9, I tried the last couple hours to get eclipse compiling the complete project.
Here's what I did:
I'm using XUbuntu in a virtual machine by the way...
I installed the latest openjdk-9-* packages and removed all java 8 packages.
I downloaded the eclipse installer for eclipse oxygen and installed the default version of eclipse for Java SE.
I started eclipse and installed the Java 9 Support Package from the marketplace and tried importing the gradle project.
Everything went more or less fine until this point. (Had a couple problems with the packages and eclipse threw some error messages but all in all it worked.)
The project was successfully imported,but I get this error messages:
The project was not built since its build path is incomplete. Cannot
find the class file for java.lang.Object. Fix the build path then try
building this project
The type java.lang.Object cannot be resolved. It is indirectly
referenced from required .class files
When it's trying to refresh the workspace, I get the following error Message:
Errors occurred during the build.
Errors running builder 'Java Builder' on project ''.
java.lang.NullPointerException
The standard output is full of FileNotFoundExceptions like this one:

Which isn't suprising, since the JDK (and the respective file) is located at usr/lib/jvm/java-9-openjdk-amd64.
In order to fix this issue, I created a symlink pointing from /usr/lib/jvm/jrt-fs.jar to /usr/lib/jvm/java-9-openjdk-amd64/jrt-fs.jar, which got rid of those errors, but eclipse searched for /usr/lib/jvm/modules which isn't existing as well...
Ignore the following part:
I tried appending --add-modules=java.se.ee (as suggested by the java 9 support plugin) to the launch arguments and added it, after this did nothing to the end of the eclipse.ini file which caused eclipse to no longer launch.
My eclipse.ini File:
-startup

--launcher.library

#--add-modules=java.se.ee
#Appending this command line argument here causes eclipse to not start - "Could not create JVM"
#This argument can of course also be passed via the command line directly
#But this changes nothing

I had the same issue. Eclipse can not find jrt-fs.jar in JDK root directory. Try running your project with Java 9 JRE instead. Complete step by step solution described here
