Error occurred during initialization of boot layer FindException: Module not found

Question

Executing a simple \"Hello World\" program using Java 9 results in the following error message:

Error occurred during initialization of boot layer

Answer 1

I just encountered the same issue after adding the bin folder to .gitignore, not sure if that caused the issue.

I solved it by going to Project/Properties/Build Path and I removed the scr folder and added it again.
