Here is the complete command line generated by Eclipse:
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-23.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java
-‐add-opens=java.desktop/sun.awt=ALL-UNNAMED
-classpath /Users/andrew/Documents/eclipse-workspace/3D_Stuff/bin:/Users/andrew/Documents/eclipse-workspace/JOGL/bin:/Users/andrew/Documents/eclipse-workspace/JOGL/lib/gluegen-rt.jar:/Users/andrew/Documents/eclipse-workspace/JOGL/lib/gluegen-rt-natives-macosx-universal.jar:/Users/andrew/Documents/eclipse-workspace/JOGL/lib/jogl-all.jar:/Users/andrew/Documents/eclipse-workspace/JOGL/lib/jogl-all-natives-macosx-universal.jar:/Users/andrew/Documents/eclipse-workspace/Java3D/bin:/Users/andrew/Documents/eclipse-workspace/Java3D/lib/java3d-core.jar:/Users/andrew/Documents/eclipse-workspace/Java3D/lib/java3d-utils.jar:/Users/andrew/Documents/eclipse-workspace/Java3D/lib/vecmath.jar Demo.LightingExample

Executing the above in Eclipse generates:
Unrecognized option: -‐add-opens=java.desktop/sun.awt=ALL-UNNAMED
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

Thanks for looking into this. It's driving me nuts!
