Error occurred during initialization of boot layer java.lang.LayerInstantiationException:

[Elaina Brown]

I was using jGrasp to write my program, however, it was suggested I try Eclipse in one of my posts on here.  My program runs in jGrasp, but I get an error when I attempt to run it in Eclipse . I have the package named Brown_5, and my class is Brown_5 (saved under the same name as well). I selected it to run in Java 10.0.2 which is what I have installed on my PC. I did attempt Java 1.8 as suggested in another form with no luck. I prefer Eclipse since it debugs as you write the code, and formats like a charm. I am just struggling with getting it to run my program.  Any suggestions?

Can you compile and run the project at the command line?  I suspect it will, since it runs in jGrasp.  If not, you may need to uninstall Java (and maybe all versions of Java).

Works at the command line?  Then you may need to uninstall/reinstall Eclipse.  Don't remove the workspace folder.

It was an issue with Java. I had installed Java 11, and also had versions 10 and 8. I now just have version 10.0.2 ( it will not run with the latest version).
It works like a charm now. Thank You. Sorry for the late response.

I'm glad you figured it out!  Thanks for posting your solution.
