To open eclipse you need to install the legacy java 6 runtime
I already had Java 8 versions installed on my system and did not want to use Java 1.6. There are various ways you can fix this issue, loads of troubleshooting steps available on StackExchange apple and StackOverflow forums, one of them is to edit the plist file of the eclipse, but the simplest way is to download Java 8 for Mac from the website and install it again,
