I updated the latest SAP Cloud Tools for Java on Eclipse. Earlier SCN posts on this topic indicated that security certificates had expired, but would be corrected once the cloud platform tools were updated. I attached a *.png of the platform tools for version review.
I was able to download and install a fresh copy of the local Java Runtime from the neo-java-web-sdk-1.94.22 zip file. I created/compiled and executed the helloworld java servlet/app on the local Java Runtime server without any issues.
I then went to create a new server instance using the SAP HANA Cloud Platform connecting to hanatrial.ondemand.com using my account name (p****trail), user name (p****) and password.
This failed with the friendly message: Cannot reach host [https://hanatrial.ondemand.com]. Check host name for typing errors and make sure your proxy and network settings are correct.
In detail, the java exceptions look like this [snippet]:
2016-01-28 18:30:37,892 ERROR ModalContext com.sap.core.deploy.client.utils.DeployClientUtils - Host [https://hanatrial.ondemand.com] and alias [/] cannot be reached. Original error message is: SSL error when connecting to https://hanatrial.ondemand.com; server certificate might be invalid or untrusted

Has anyone encountered this ssl server certificate issue before on the initial handshake on an Eclipse MARS installation?
