A few weeks ago, I upgraded my laptop. Due to a bug in the latest OS/X, Iwasn't able to transfer all of my files from my old computer to the new one,but since everything I do is in Subversion anyway, I didn't anticipate a majorissue just reinstalling everything I needed. When it came time to installJava, I installed the latest JDK (1.8). Thinking little of it,I went back to my normal work, ran Maven, and immediately got the following stack trace:[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project reports: Could not resolve dependencies for project com.xxoffice.reporting:reports:war:1.0-SNAPSHOT: Failed to collect dependencies at com.qoppa.pdf:jPDFAssemble:jar:1.0: Failed to read artifact descriptor for com.qoppa.pdf:jPDFAssemble:jar:1.0: Could not transfer artifact com.qoppa.pdf:jPDFAssemble:pom:1.0 from/to xxoffice ( ): sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target -> [Help 1]at sun.security.ssl.Alerts.getSSLException(Alerts.java:192)at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.fatal(SSLSocketImpl.java:1884)at sun.security.ssl.Handshaker.fatalSE(Handshaker.java:276)at sun.security.ssl.Handshaker.fatalSE(Handshaker.java:270)at sun.security.ssl.ClientHandshaker.serverCertificate(ClientHandshaker.java:1341)at sun.security.ssl.ClientHandshaker.processMessage(ClientHandshaker.java:153)at sun.security.ssl.Handshaker.processLoop(Handshaker.java:868)at sun.security.ssl.Handshaker.process_record(Handshaker.java:804)at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.readRecord(SSLSocketImpl.java:1016)at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.performInitialHandshake(SSLSocketImpl.java:1312)at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.startHandshake(SSLSocketImpl.java:1339)at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.startHandshake(SSLSocketImpl.java:1323)...Whoa, what the heck was that? Scrolling up a bit, I saw that it was failingwhile trying to connect to my local Maven repository that I maintain forinternal build artifacts. So, why would JDK 1.8 not be able to connect tomy internal repository?
