Windows 7 SP1, Java JRE 1.7.0_51-b13 (32-bit), Eclipse Kepler Service Release 2 build 20140224-0627, Eclipse Plugin RSE SSH Services 3.2.100.201305201712

If you use a Java IDE or any other Java program that makes ssh connections to a server that has anything over 128 bit encryption turned on, then you'll see that it fails with the error:
    RSEG1066

    Failed to connect sshd on HMSWEBXX01.ZZZ.LAN:22

    Algorithm negotiation failed

By default, the Java Development Kit and Java Runtime Environment do not offer ciphers larger than 128 bits. To fix, all you need to do is download the strong encryption JAR files for your version of the JDK/JRE and restart your Java app.
