How to configure Eclipse IDE to use SSL with Windows

PREREQUISITES

    Before you begin, you must have the following:

  • a trusted server Java keystore.
    If you do not have a Trusted Server Java keystore, click here for instructions on how to create a trusted server Java keystore.

1. The eclipse.ini file

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.

         -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/usr/local/serverTrustStore.jks
         -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword="changeit"
    -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
    

  3. Save the above changes and restart the Eclipse IDE.
