My system is having openJDK 11 and don't have Java 1.8 SDK. So, I've tried to configure OpenSDK with Spring Tool Suite software by setting in STS.ini file,
STS.ini:
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.4.0.v20161219-1356.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.551.v20171108-1834
-product
org.springsource.sts.ide
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vm
C:\Program Files\Oracle\OpenJDK 11.0.1\bin\javaw.exe
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8
--add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM
-Xms40m
-Dosgi.module.lock.timeout=10
-Xverify:none
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.IEVersion=10001
-Xmx1200m
When executing STS.exe, getting the error which is logged in .log file as below,
.log
