Eclipse internal error “Polling news feeds”

This indeed seems to be an issue when Eclipse is run with Java 11. I have created Bug 539545 to report this.

In the meantime, you can work around this issue by disabling news feed polling. To do so, go to Preferences… -> General -> News, and untick the Enable automatic news polling option:

Preferences news feed disabling

The error window will no longer appear.
