Answer 1

As khmarbaise mentioned, the error you are getting is: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

Your local keystore (truststore) does not contain the required certificates. Once you add the required certs it will start working. You can do that by following these steps:

• Copy the URL into the browser and download the certs
  • http://www.wikihow.com/Export-Certificate-Public-Key-from-Chrome
  • http://docs.bvstools.com/home/ssl-documentation/exporting-certificate-authorities-cas-from-a-website
• Import cert into keystore
  • https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/java-add-certificate-ca-store
  • Digital Certificate: How to import .cer file in to .truststore file using?
• You may also have to restart your JVM / IDE if running maven from within IDE

The article below from Atlassian describes a similar issue and provides a solution to the problem: https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/unable-to-connect-to-ssl-services-due-to-pkix-path-building-failed-779355358.html

To add JAR's directly the correct steps can be found at:

• https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-3rd-party-jars-local.html
• http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-install-plugin/examples/specific-local-repo.html
