I am running SDK 4.7-RC2 under JDK9 (early-access build 169).

I go and install an additional component (via Install New Software...), doesn't really matter what. Then press "Restart Now" in the upcoming dialog.

After that, Eclipse restarts, but crashes. I can manually start it again and the error log reveals:

Maybe the special VM options for JDK9 are lost in this scenario somehow... They are present in the eclipse.ini (and therefore I can start Eclipse manually and it runs fine).
