How to fix Maven build plugin failing with SSL error?

Question

I'm exploring the maven build capabilities and therefore try to build the example workspace from github: https://github.com/axonivy/project-build-examples/tree/7.0

But the build fails very early when entering mvn clean verify:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.axonivy.ivy.ci:project-build-plugin:7.0.0:installEngine (default-installEngine) on project crm: Failed to find engine download link in list page https://developer.axonivy.com/download/maven.html: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target -> [Help 1]

What am I missing?

Accepted Answer

This happens when an old JDK is used to run maven. Oracle once updated the Root certificates in the JDK. The certificates used to validate the default engine download page is no longer valid.

To verify the JDK you are using inspect your environment variables:

windows: cmd > echo %JAVA_HOME%
linuxs: bash > echo $JAVA_HOME
or just fire javac -version

If it points to binaries older than 1.8.0_171 you should install the latest 1.8 JDK. Ensure that you update the JAVA_HOME variable to the newly installed JDK afterwards.
