General internal error using plugin (javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Received fatal alert: protocol_version)

[rimanwa]

Hi,
I installed the plugin on Oxygen.3a Release (4.7.3a). Everytime I want to open a simple md-document I got the following error within a "Problem Occured"-window of eclipse.

An internal error occurred during: "Transforming: test.md".
javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Received fatal alert: protocol_version

Afterwards the plugin crashes.
May you help me?

Best regards

I downloaded that Eclipse version and it worked for me with Sun JDK 1.8.0_172. It's something to do with the JDK & GitHub. One workaround described at: jenkinsci/ghprb-plugin#638 indicates a possible solution. Edit the eclipse.ini file in the launch folder for Oxygen and add a new line after the -vmargs line -Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1.2

Thanks for your help. Your suggestion did not work, but after I reinstalled eclipse and using the JDK 1.8.xx it works.
Best regards
