Java – Eclipse luna shows error “Unable to read repository at”

java

I am getting the below error when I tried to install tomcat server from Eclipse Marketplace at Eclipse Luna(eclipse-jee-luna-SR2-win32[4.4]) on IE11 in Windows 7.


Unable to read repository at http://tomcatplugin.sf.net/update/content.xml.
Received fatal alert: handshake_failure


Can anyone please help me on this to get resolve.

Thanks in Advance.

The repository has migrated to https (it is no longer accessible by http), and uses TLS 1.1 or TLS 1.2, that are protocols not enabled by default in JDK 1.7. You must start eclipse with JDK 1.8 or above. Edit eclipse.ini and add the next lines just before -vmargs whith your JDK path (more details in eclipse.ini wiki):

-vm
/usr/local/java/jdk1.8/bin/java
