Description
Recommended modern ciphers for SSH-connections include
chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com,
aes256-gcm@openssh.com
A line like
Ciphers chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com,aes256-gcm@openssh.com,aes128-gcm@openssh.com,aes256-cbc,aes256-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes128-ctr,aes192-cbc
in the user's SSH-configuraiton file ~/.ssh/config works perfectly as long as SSH-connections are started on the Linux command line.
However, with Eclipse Oxygen such lines in the ~/.ssh/config-file lead to an Error
"..... java.lang.NullPointerException"
This does not happen for lines like
Ciphers aes256-ctr,aes256-cbc
Tested on Opensuse Leap 42.3 and Debian Jessie.
