Simulator not working in High Sierra?

Has anyone been able to get the ConnectIQ simulator to work in High Sierra?


I've tried a number of different things and haven't been able to get the simulator to work once. The simulator will open alright, but will just hang there with a blue triangle, and when I try to inspect memory, there's nothing there which leads me to believe it's failing very early in the loading process.

Some things I've tried:

* Using the Eclipse plugin to launch the simulator
* Using `monkeydo` CLI tool to launch the simulator
* Earlier versions of the SDK, including versions I know work in Sierra (not 'High Sierra'), like 2.3.1 and 2.3.4.


One thing that bit me during set up was using JDK 9, which apparently removes 'javax' files from the default path which caused NullPointerExceptions in the simulator. When I downgraded to JDK 8, it fixed those issues, so I don't see any more exceptions, just the 'blue triangle of suffering'. I've even tried a fresh install on a different laptop (also using High Sierra), and see the same issue.

Any clues here?

    I just made a fresh install of Eclipse Oxygen, new working space, new Hello Watch face, and same result. It seems that the app never really starts (it prints nothing on the console even with println in the initialize methods) and when I click on the red square to stop the app, I have an error message stating : 'Terminate failed'.
    Did you have Java 8 Update 161 also on your working conf ?
