NoClassDefFoundError while trying to use jdk.incubator.http.HttpClient in java in Eclipse Oxygen [duplicate]

Question

Here is the code snippet that I use:

HttpClient client = HttpClient.newHttpClient();
HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder(URI.create("https://www.google.com")).GET().build();
HttpResponse.BodyHandler responseBodyHandler = HttpResponse.BodyHandler.asString();
HttpResponse response = client.send(request, responseBodyHandler);
System.out.println("Status code = " + response.statusCode());

String body = response.body().toString();
System.out.println(body);

Eclipse throws NoClassDefFoundError for HttpClient when I run the above code. But this functions perfectly when I use jshell with --add-modules=jdk.incubator.httpclient. What can be done so that the code is executed via Eclipse?

Answer 1

Thanks to @Steephen who helped me with a hint in the question comments. After viewing the answers here, I tried adding the following in Run Configurations for my sample project.

After that, the code ran smoothly without throwing NoClassDefFoundError.
