eclipse does not launch after 18.4 11.5.2018 update

[ettoretommasomarchetti]

problem:
eclipse (installed via the Oomph) does not launch on 12.5.2018, meaning that a couple second after clicking on the programme icon, and seeing the eclipse small start-up window, the programme aborts its launch with an error message (the message suggests looking at a hidden file that does not exist, "... eclipse-workspace/.metadata/.log.")

I had run eclipse on 11.5.2018; while it was up, Ubuntu 18.4 installed an update; this might have been up to a week old as I had not used the computer since. SO this was the first time I run eclipse after the update;

solution
- I noticed that the eclipse.ini vm pointed to a openjdk java 11 version
- I installed Oracle java 10
- I changed the eclipse.ini to vm it

eclipse works after this change; I have tried no other vm

should you need more tests, please let me know
