security related error installing erlide in photon

[geib]

I am trying to install erlide from eclipse market place and I get the attached error message.

Sorry, I am running macos and eclipse photon.

Did you try to install directly? It works for me, from the marketplace too...

I found this similar question, see if the last answer's ideas work for you.

I have not tried a direct install. Is there an archive I can download.?? Thanks,

By direct install I meant going to http://download.erlide.org/update (instead of the marketplace)

I get the same error/result with that method of install. I assume https, not http. I can browse to that url with no problems, it seems like an eclipse issue maybe. I will look at the other related question. Thanks,

There is no more info after "I get the following", maybe the email attachment is lost on github?

Here is another try.

Solved: I downloaded the cert from download.erlide.org, and then inserted into my java cacerts.
For anyone else having this issue. I am running macos mohave, and java 1.8.0 with eclipse photon.

Here are the steps I used to resolve the issue:

1. Used a nice tool InstallCert.java to download the certificate.
   java InstallCert download.erlide.org:443

2. keytool -exportcert -alias download.erlide.org-1 -keystore jssecacerts -storepass changeit -file download.erlide.org.cer

3. keytool -importcert -alias download.erlide.org -keystore /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_60.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/security/cacerts -storepass changeit -file download.erlide.org.cer

4. restarted eclipse and install went fine.

Great! Thanks for the info, I will add it to the docs too. I wonder why it works without that on other systems...
