javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure java 1.7_45

I have an https web page that I need to access and get some file, I am using Java 1.7_45 and apache httpclient 4.5.1 when I execute the client request I get the error(If I change to Java 8 it works, but I cannot change it to Java 8):

I tried everything that I found on the internet as add those VM arguments

-Dhttps.protocols=SSLv2Hello,SSLv2,SSLv3,TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2
-Djdk.tls.client.protocols=TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2
-Ddeployment.security.SSLv2Hello=false 
-Ddeployment.security.SSLv3=false 
-Ddeployment.security.TLSv1=false 
-Ddeployment.security.TLSv1.1=true 
-Ddeployment.security.TLSv1.2=true

change the jars on the folder jre/lib/security

the funny thing is on the bug shows that the java is using TLSv1 but the server does not accept that, I believe that is why of the error but I tried everything to change it.

My block code that is getting the error basically is :

HttpGet httpGetRequest = new HttpGet(uri);
CloseableHttpClient client = HttpClients.createDefault();
CloseableHttpResponse httpResponse = null;
httpResponse = client.execute(httpGetRequest);

the result of debug mode is

Answer

I solved this issue but using this snippet code

if (hostType.getProtocol().equals(Protocol.HTTPS)) {

    SSLConnectionSocketFactory sslsf = new SSLConnectionSocketFactory(SSLContexts.createDefault(),
            new String[] { SSL_VERSION }, null, SSLConnectionSocketFactory.getDefaultHostnameVerifier());
    client = HttpClients.custom().setSSLSocketFactory(sslsf).build();
}
