So far I love RDi 9.8 except for one nagging problem.
I am getting an error when trying to download plugins from Eclipse Marketplace or Install New Software. (from the Help menu).
I am running 64 bit Windows 10 on a Dell laptop.
I created a folder C:\RDi and copied the downloaded RDi zip file to it. Then used 7-zip to extract the zip file to the folder. Installed my license without a problem. RDi works flawlessly for me other than this.
Initially, I was able to open Eclipse Marketplace initially and installed the Eclipse Web Developer Tools 3.25 which allows me to edit html files.
But now when I try to install new software (I was looking to install Git) I get an error either trying to open Eclipse Marketplace or Install new software.
The error I am getting is
Cannot open Eclipse Marketplace

I have been trying to resolve this issue with IBM support for a couple of weeks and they are unable to duplicate my problem.
The problem might have something to do with the Java cacerts file.
I have no problem accessing the url's from my web browser.
I tried uninstalling and re-installing my JRE. I am using IBM Semeru jre-17.0.8.101-openj9. This is IBM's recommendation for IBM i ACS.
RDi has it's own java
Each has their own cacerts file. The error logs don't tell me what cacerts file is being used. I saw some reference that it might use the one in the JAVA_HOME directory which is the IBM Sereru installation.
There are several other cacerts files on my system. I tried copying and replacing the cacerts files in the Semeru and RDi directories.
I tried uninstalling and re-installling java.
I uninstalled dbeaver which was running on another version of eclipse.
I was able to get it working again if I completely removed the C:\RDi folder and re-installed it.
However, I can't get that to work any more.
I am able to get it to work if I install on my other computer - desktop machine - 64 bit Windows 10.
I tried creating a new workspace thinking there was a setting in the workspace that could be causing the problem.
I think there must be some settings outside of the install folder (C:\RDi) and the workspace folder. Perhaps some registry settings? Maybe some ini files somewhere else.
Anyone else experience anything like this?
Any suggestions?
