How to config local Jetty ssl to avoid weak phermeral DH key error?

Question

I'm using keytool to generate a keystore to config a local development jetty to run ssl

keytool.exe -keystore jetty.keystore -alias jetty -genkey -keyalg RSA -sigalg SHA256withRSA

Jetty config:

<Call name="addConnector">
    <Arg>
        <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.ssl.SslSelectChannelConnector">
            <Arg>
                <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.http.ssl.SslContextFactory">
                    <Set name="keyStore">jetty/jetty.keystore</Set>
                    <Set name="keyStorePassword">jetty6</Set>
                    <Set name="keyManagerPassword">jetty6</Set>
                    <Set name="trustStore">jetty/jetty.keystore</Set>
                    <Set name="trustStorePassword">jetty6</Set>
                </New>
            </Arg>
            <Set name="port">8443</Set>
            <Set name="maxIdleTime">30000</Set>
        </New>
    </Arg>
</Call>

It works fine until recently in new browser like Firefox Aurora and Chrome Canary, it rejects with (in Firefox's case):

An error occurred during a connection to localhost:8443. SSL received a weak ephemeral Diffie-Hellman key in Server Key Exchange handshake message. (Error code: ssl_error_weak_server_ephemeral_dh_key)

There is no way to accept it manually. So, I should re-generate a stronger key? Or it's a configuration in jetty?

The accepted answer didn't fix it for me (Jetty 9.2, Java 7), but this did:

<Set name="ExcludeCipherSuites">
  <Array type="String">
    <Item>SSL_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA</Item>
    <Item>SSL_DHE_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA</Item>

    <!-- Disable cipher suites with Diffie-Hellman key exchange to prevent Logjam attack

Embedded Jetty code for UnSandpiper solution:

    sslContextFactory.setExcludeCipherSuites(
            "SSL_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA",
            "SSL_DHE_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA",
            "SSL_DHE_DSS_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA",
            "SSL_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_RC4_40_MD5",
            "SSL_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_DES40_CBC_SHA",
            // Disable cipher suites with Diffie-Hellman key exchange to prevent Logjam attack
            //and avoid the ssl_error_weak_server_ephemeral_dh_key error in recent browsers
            "SSL_DHE_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_DES40_CBC_SHA",
            "SSL_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA",
            "SSL_DHE_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA",
            "TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256",
            "TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256",
            "TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA",
            "TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA",
            "TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256",
            "TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256",
            "TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA",
            "TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA");

    // Setting required for preventing Poodle attack,
    // see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26382540/how-to-disable-the-sslv3-protocol-in-jetty-to-prevent-poodle-attack/26388531#26388531
    sslContextFactory.setExcludeProtocols("SSLv3");
