Trying to run MyTourBook for the first time on a fresh machine. (mytourbook-17.12.1-linux-64)

any help will be greatly appreciated!

user@Box-PC:~$ cat /etc/debian_version

When you google for "An illegal reflective access operation has occurred" "eclipse" then you will see that other apps, e.g. https://github.com/eclipse/xtext-core/issues/506 have the same problem since using Java 9.

I've build 17.12.1 with Oracle Java 8 1.8.0_144-b01 maybe building with Java 9 can solve the problem.

MyTourbook is still using the 5 year old Eclipse 3.8.2 but moving to Eclipse 4.x takes a lot of work without having any advantages (maybe the integrated browser will work again without any problems), the development is done with the newest Eclipse IDE 4.7.2

You can run MT with a specific JVM by using the -vm commandline argument, more is documented in the Eclipse help https://help.eclipse.org/mars/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Freference%2Fmisc%2Fruntime-options.html

nobody complained any more, MT is now also using Eclipse 4.x
