macOS Mojave 10.14.6 : Exception in thread "main" javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: PKIX path building failed

[KIshore Babu M. N.]

I am getting PKIX path building failed when I tried to run ./mvnw. Below I have attached my application generation steps and error log. I am using macOS Mojave 10.14.6., node version v12.18.0, npm version 6.14.4, java version "12.0.2" 2019-07-16, Apache Maven 3.6.1

As per my analysis I got some inputs that it is occurring due to self signed certificate, I am not sure to what extent this analysis is correct. . Some time back, as per the given project instructions I have added a certificate. Now I did not remember those steps, but because of that maven central is using the certificate from custom trust store instead from certification authority. Because of this I am getting the below error when I run ./mvnw, can any one help me how can I figure out that self signed certificate and remove it so that maven starts using from certification authority instead from custom trust store?


Can any one help me to resolve it?


Run your Spring Boot application:
./mvnw

Client application generated successfully.

Start your Webpack development server with:
npm start

$ ./mvnw

Hello and welcome.

I don't have any experience with Apache Maven, so unfortunately I won't be able to give any helpful advice. You could try the Apache Maven Project > Getting Help resources.

Sorry,
