"Algorithm negotiation fail" error in Eclipse when trying to connect by SSH to a personal Git Server

I have Eclipse Juno, a Synology Server DS213+ with a Git Server. I'm trying to checkout a project from my Git Server to my workspace and when I use EGit in Eclipse I have this error:

[route] is correct and works fine in other git softwares

Eclipse require diffie-hellman-group1-sha1

Modify /etc/ssh/sshd_config and add it to Ciphers like:

Ciphers 3des-cbc,aes128-cbc,aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc,[email protected],aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]
macs [email protected],[email protected],[email protected],[email protected],[email protected],[email protected],[email protected],hmac-sha2-256,hmac-sha2-512,hmac-sha1
kexalgorithms curve25519-sha256,[email protected],ecdh-sha2-nistp256,ecdh-sha2-nistp384,ecdh-sha2-nistp521,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256,diffie-hellman-group16-sha512,diffie-hellman-group18-sha512,diffie-hellman-group14-sha256,diffie-hellman-group14-sha1,diffie-hellman-group1-sha1

Egit in Eclipse seems to throw this error when it does not support any of the chipers supported the the ssh server. In my case, the SSH server was set to only accept a handful of strong chipers. I noticed errors similar to the following on the server's ssh logs:

fatal: Unable to negotiate with xx.xx.xx.xx port 12345: no matching cipher found. Their offer: aes128-ctr,aes128-cbc,3des-ctr,3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc

The reason for the error on the client was because the default Java install did not support any of the strong chipers. Since we were already using the webupd8 team ppa to install our Java packages, the solution was to simply install the unlimited-jce-policy package.

apt install oracle-java8-unlimited-jce-policy

Restart Eclipse and you're all set.

I found this blog with the solution:

http://blog.millard.org/2014/11/repair-synology-dsm51-for-use-as-linux.html

Using WinSCP http://winscp.net/eng/download.php I modified sshd_config and restart ssh in the Control Panel of Synology.
