Having the same issue.

@kohsuke What version of TLS is this plugin using? It looks like github will not accept requests with TLS versions less than 1.2

@attti I solved this issue by upgrading to Java 8. Additionally, you can force java 7 to use TLS 1.2 by using this java option: -Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1.2
