I've been running Eclipse Mars on Mac OS X 10.7.5 successfully for a few years. However as I'd like to upgrade to Java 10 soon I tried to update to Eclipse Photon last week. The installer however crashed immediately. I've been googling it for a while but couldn't find anything so I created this bug report. There I was told that Eclipse Photon won't run on anything lower than OS X 10.11. However, I would be able to run Eclipse Oxygen successfully when replacing the launcher with the Neon.3 launcher. Point is, how do I replace that launcher? Java download for mac 10.8.
I try to install SAP HANA Tools in Eclipse Oxygen on my Mac with macOS Sierra and always get the error. Only Google points me to the right download place for Eclipse Neon for Mac. By default always Oxygen is provided for download (and nothing else). A clear link or at least a clear WARNING on SAP side would be helpful. Eclipse Oxygen (4.7) For Windows, Linux AND Mac. Eclipse Oxygen 4.7 Installer. Eclipse is one of the best software for developers for creating top-level projects that includes tools to provide developers the freedom of choice in a multi-language, multi-platform, and multi-vendor environment. The Eclipse Foundation - home to a global community, the Eclipse IDE, Jakarta EE and over 350 open source projects, including runtimes, tools and frameworks. Download Eclipse Technology that is right for you. Sponsored Ad. Tool Platforms. Get Eclipse IDE 2018‑12. Install your favorite desktop IDE packages.
Also, I was wondering if I can run Eclipse Photon on OS X 10.9.5. I may be upgrading to that version by the end of this year (I have my reasons to not upgrade to 10.11 in the near future).
Thanks in advance.

I've found the solution myself. Unfortunately, it is not possible to run Eclipse Photon on Mac OS X 10.7.5. Officially, Eclipse Oxygen is not supported either and it will crash when trying to open it. It is however possible to run Eclipse Oxygen on Mac OS X 10.7.5 by replacing the launcher with the Neon launcher.
- You will need to download both the Eclipse Oxygen and Neon installer.
- Run the Neon installer and install Eclipse Neon.
- Right click the Oxygen installer -> Show contents and do the same for the Neon installer. Then replace Contents/MacOS/eclipse-inst from Oxygen with the Contents/MacOS/eclipse-inst file from the Neon installer.
- You can now successfully open the Oxygen installer and install Eclipse Oxygen.
- After installing it, open the contents of Eclipse.app for both Oxygen and Neon. Then replace Contents/MacOS/eclipse in Oxygen with Contents/MacOS/eclipse from Neon.
- You can now remove Eclipse Neon and successfully open Eclipse Oxygen.
