I can confirm that this affects a clean install of Ubuntu 18.04. Steps to reproduce:
- install Ubuntu 18.04. Fully update it - install "default-jdk" (sudo apt install default-jdk) - try running the very simple attached program which tries to retrieve "https://www.google.com" - it fails with javax.net.ssl.SSLException (see the complete stacktrace in the attachment) Workaround: remove default-jdk, install openjdk-8, remove openjdk-8 and reinstall default-jdk: sudo apt purge openjdk-default java-common sudo apt purge default-jdk java-common sudo apt install openjdk-8-jre sudo apt purge openjdk-8-jre sudo apt install default-jdk ** Attachment added: "exception.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-lts/+bug/1768799/+attachment/5138705/+files/exception.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1768799 Title: Java can't connect to https sites To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-lts/+bug/1768799/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
