In reply to Unable to install STS 3.10 plugin by Manoj Verma
This error is related to the local JDK installaiton not being able to validate the certificate, but you can tell your JDK to accept the certificate directly (if you search on stackoverflow for that error message, you will find a description how to do that for sure). Another option is to use the update site directly and use a non-https version of it to install the features manually into your Eclipse installation. The third option would be to download a ready-to-use Eclipse distribution that contains all the necessary parts pre-installed from https://spring.io/tools3/sts/all - or - even better - try the latest Spring Tools 4 version from https://spring.io/tools
Hope this helps!
