[Solved] 1.18.1 won't runClient; "unable to load... FMLClientLaunchHandler"

[IceMetalPunk]

It's been a long time since I've made a mod, and I'm trying to set up one for 1.18.1 using Eclipse. (Specifically, it's Forge MDK 39.0.66.) Whenever I run the runClient configuration, even with just the basic example mod code with no code changes, I get this error:

Quote

ForgeException in thread "main" java.util.ServiceConfigurationError: cpw.mods.modlauncher.api.ILaunchHandlerService: Unable to load net.minecraftforge.fml.loading.targets.FMLClientLaunchHandler

I've made sure I have JDK 17 installed, my JAVA_HOME environment variable points to it, I've done gradlew clean and refreshed dependencies, re-ran genEclipseRuns, and even re-added the system JRE library to the project build path. Nothing seems to stop this error.

What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?

1.18 requires Java 17.

As I said, I have JDK 17 installed and my JAVA_HOME is pointing to it. Specifically, JDK 17.0.2.

🤦‍♂️ So... yeah. Apparently, even though I added System JRE (and deleted and re-added it multiple times) to my project build path, and even though my JAVA_HOME is pointing to the JDK 17.... Eclipse still treated "System JRE" as "the JRE that was bundled deep in the directory structure of this installation of Eclipse" instead of, you know, my actual system's JRE 😑

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!
