Known issues
Although there are no known issues with the plugin itself, there is a potential issue with Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) when installing from a secure (HTTPS) connection.
Handling fatal alert: handshake_failure when installing
Due to export restrictions, some Oracle JRE/JDK cannot be shipped with support for the encryption used by many web certificates.
To solve this, download and install Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Policy (see README.TXT in the .zip, in practice copy two files to a specific directory).
Using older Eclipse versions
For older Eclipse IDEs (Luna and earlier), it is often not possible to install from https.
Instead, use our non-secure install site for now.
