Error when trying to create a new JBOSS OpenShift

Question

I am trying to have a play around with openshift, but am running into a config issue at the first hurdle.

i have RedHatJBOSS Developer Studio 8.0.0 installed, and have the JBOSS Integration and SOA Development Plugin installed.

I also have an openshift user account and can login just fine to their website.

Basically, when I select the create openshift project from the JBoss central page, and enter my valid openshift credentials and pres next, it tries to connect and immediately throws an error stating an SSL handshake exception occurred (details below).

I am a bit lost if I am honest; is there something I need to install?

I am using JRE 7 in case that is significant

Answer 1

This looks very weird, I didnt spot this so far. SSL handshake is failing for some unknown reason.

What is the exact version of your JDK7? What is your OS?
