Before you begin, you must have the following:

Need a Trusted Server Java keystore?  Here are instructions on how to create a trusted server Java keystore.

For this example, it is assumed that:

• The Java trusted server keystore has been created and is named serverTrustStore.jks.
• The directory path to the trusted server keystore is /usr/local/.
• The password for the trusted server keystore is changeit.
• Eclipse has been installed at /usr/local/eclipse.

You must make name and path adjustments to the above assumptions to conform to your configuration.

1. cd to /usr/local/eclipse and edit the eclipse.ini file.  The contents of the eclipse.ini file should be similar to the following:
   

   -showsplash
   org.eclipse.platform
   --launcher.XXMaxPermSize
   256M
   -framework
   plugins\org.eclipse.osgi_3.4.3.R34x_v20081215-1030.jar
   -vmargs
   -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
   -Xms40m
   -Xmx512m
   

   
   
2. add the following 2 lines to the -vmargs as shown below.
   
   
   ${renderedContent}
   
   

   -showsplash
   org.eclipse.platform
   --launcher.XXMaxPermSize
   256M
   -framework
   plugins\org.eclipse.osgi_3.4.3.R34x_v20081215-1030.jar
   -vmargs
   -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
   -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/usr/local/serverTrustStore.jks 
   -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword="changeit" 
   -Xms40m
   -Xmx512m
   

   ${renderedContent}
   
   
3. Save the above changes and restart the Eclipse IDE.
