Question

I downloaded eclipse oxygen for macOS. Here is the link for reference:

https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/oxygen/3a/eclipse-jee-oxygen-3a-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.dmg

I opened up and launched eclipse once it was downloaded and an error came up telling me to see a log file. I'm pretty new at this so I have no idea what happened.

Previously I downloaded this:

https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

but I deleted it and installed eclipse oxygen. I am using a mac. Is there a way to fix this? If so how can I?

Answer 1

I deleted eclipse and downloaded the newer version:
