Plugin which was built using Eclipse-rcp Neon not working on Eclipse Photon

I am trying to run the Eclipse plugin which was built using Neon release on the latest versions of Eclipse. So far it works fine on the Oxygen release but doesn't work on the other latest releases.
I have the source code of the plugin (on Neon-rcp) from which I created the plugin's jar file and installed it on Neon and Oxygen versions and it works fine but when I install it on Photon, 2018-09 and 2018-12 and launch the Eclipse IDE it gives me an error message to read the log file. In the log file it states that an error occurred while activating the bundle. I even installed the java 1.8.0_102 in which the plugin was built. I searched for solutions but couldn't find one which could solve this issue. Please see the log below.
log from Photon
do{
PleaseIgnore();
} while(true);
I have no clue how to solve this problem as it works fine on Neon and Oxygen release. My main goal is to run it on the other latest releases.
It would be a great help if someone point me in the right direction to solve this issue.
Thanks.
P.S : I don't have much experience with java and eclipse.

Eclipse Oxygen JVM Error

I'm just getting back to java, and went and downloaded the latest Eclipse Oxygen. Once it's all installed, I try to launch and get the following error dialogue.
So I went and downloaded Java 8 and installed that. Once again I tried to open Eclipse. It still displays the exact same answer. Any idea on how to fix this?

On macOS you must install the full JDK - the JRE install isn't enough.
Get the full JDK from the Oracle site here.
If you install Java 9 you will need to use at least Eclipse Oxygen.1a (4.7.1a) but preferably the current Eclipse, for eariler versions of Eclipse install Java 8.

I installed Vaadin eclipse plugin but I can't see it in the new menu nor in preferences

I installed the Vaadin plugin from the eclipse market place, and then I restarted my eclipse, I was surprised that nothing came up on the File->New wizard dialog:
I check in the installed plugins, and I can clearly see that the vaadin plug-in is installed:
Any idea what am I missing?
I'm using eclipse neon on Windows 7 machine.
Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.
Version: Neon Release (4.6.0)
Build id: 20160613-1800

I saw the same issue using Eclipse Oxygen. After trying various things, I decided to try installing the plugin on an older version of Eclipse. Installing on Eclipse Neon worked, using the Help -> Install new software path, as outlined in the previous answer by Morfic.

How to add jdk8 in Eclipse Indigo

I just read How to have Eclipse use JDK8 to compile a project?
What i added jdk8 to eclipse as,
From the answers of How to have Eclipse use JDK8 to compile a project?
I tried to Update the JDT/Core, JDT/UI bundles from http://dist.springsource.com/snapshot/TOOLS/java8/e43
But it shows error as,
"Eclipse Java Development Tools Patch for Java 8 Support (BETA)" is not applicable to the current configuration and will not be installed.
"Eclipse Plug-in Development Environment Patch for Java 8 Support (BETA)" is not applicable to the current configuration and will not be installed.
How Can i fix it ?

I can say that Java 1.8 does in fact work with Eclipse Luna ( the beta version released around March 17, 2014) or later. I tried it and it was good.
Also, I noticed that in the Eclipse Marketplace, there are now plugins to install functionality into Kepler to support JDK1.8. I haven't tried the plugin myself though.

This is a old topic but I just wanted to point out that I have searched enough to find that Indigo version can't be updated to S.E 1.8 here the link which is given on eclipse website to update the Execution Environment but if you try it will throw error for Indigo.
Here is the link where the Information about execution environment is given.
This shows the step by step to update Execution environment.
I have tried to update Execution environment and I got the same error.
