Debugging SSL problems is not really something I do regularly, but you 
may want to see if changing the settings in the java.security policy 
helps. Settings to try are:

jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms
jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms

For reference:

Java 8 Update 31, disabled SSLv3: 
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/8u31-relnotes-2389094.html,
Java 8 Update 51, disabled some cipher suites, and limitations for DH 
keys where added:
