AFAICT, the hash from that download matches what comes from our server. We are investigating.

Hello,

I can confirm the same behaviour with our corporate installation of SEP 12.1.6.

The exact condition that causes the alarm is the following :

- Download of Eclipse-platform 4.6.2 or 4.6.1, (win32 version on Windows 7-64)
- 1st start of Eclipse, and installation of the Eclipse MarketPlace plugin : no alarm
- Restart of Eclipse (in order to download additional plugins via MarketPlace) : this time SEP alarm is raised

So it seems related to the way the Eclipse MarketPlace behaves.

What is strange, is that on my home computer, the same version of SEP does not raise any warning while reproducing the same steps.

But as it occurs at work, no possibility to use it for security reason. Really embarrassing.
