PKIX path building failed

I added sslVerify=false to my eclipse Git configuration but it may not be the right place.

Never seen this before.
Which eclipse version are you using?
Eclipse Mars.64-bit Windows. Mars itself is very slow on my laptop.
The PKIX issue vanished when I tried from home with no corporate proxy. Unsure about the reason.
I'm happy to hear this. So I guess we can conclude that there is a problem with certain weird network setup/firewalls/content filters as they are common in corporate networks.
Also, thank you for reporting, this may help someone else later.
Yes. The proxy was the difference. The plugin URI is a git URI. So in such cases the PKIX problem is generally solved by setting ssl verification to 'false'. That is what I believe based on my experience with other package managers like 'npm'. But here the 'http.sslVerify' setting is for eclipse git. So it doesn't seem to take effect.
It is not a weird network problem because I use several package managers through the proxy like cabal for emacs, npm for nodejs and managers for 'R'.
