What is the version of the JRE you are using? If you are using an older version of the JRE you are probably missing some certificates.
Either upgrade your JRE or add the appropriate certificates to your installation.

The same Stack Overflow post helped me resolve my issue.

I just want to point out that unless your JRE is truly ancient, its version should not be an issue and it should have the SSL certificates for most Eclipse download sites in the default keystore.

The problem with this exception is that it's really verbose, but it does not list the exact certificate in the chain that caused the error. After you open the update/download URL used by Eclipse in a Web browser and view the lowest level certificate in the chain, you can save and import all of the certificates in the chain or just try the ones that you think are causing the problem.

In my case the root cause was that the certificate used by the corporate HTTP proxy server was inserted in the SSL cert chain and the JVM used by Eclipse did not know how to obtain that certificate automatically (Web browsers, even the Eclipse internal browser, are just better at this, so this is why you typically can't reproduce the error in them).
So I needed to save and to import JUST THAT certificate into the JRE keystore as a trusted entry.
