Self-signed Certificate - Unable to connect using ANT Build

Question

I'm trying to connect to all the links in a particular webpage and get the response to see if the link is broken.
Some of the links are SSL that too self-certified. So, I've followed the procedure of adding the certificate to trust store. After that it worked fine, when I tested the same in Eclipse(it returned OK/200).
But, when I build and run the project using ANT in command line, the same exception appears. And it is weird that it doesn't happen when I build using the same xml through Eclipse; it simply works!

sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

Answer 1

As per my previous comments Java installs a JRE alongside the JDK which in turn also has a JRE installed. Thus if you are not sure which one is used you can try to add the certificate into jre\\lib\\security\\cacerts and jdk1.x.0_xx\\jre\\lib\\security\\cacerts.
