Proxy configuration issues with jvisualvm
java, jvisualvm, proxy
Solution
The VisualVM was migrated to Github so the plugins center is now Here
but to make it short what you need to do is open VisualVM open Tools -> Plugins -> Settings on the right column ("Java VisualVM Plugins Center") click Edit replace whatever you have there with : https://visualvm.github.io/uc/8u131/updates.xml.gz
Problem
I have tried the jvisualvm.exe in my JDK (1.6.0_15-b03) to reload the plugin catalog, by following Tools > Plugins > Updates > Reload Catalog However; no matter what proxy configuration I try (I also tried to test it on another JVM 1.6 update 23) and does not seem to to work. I get the following errors irrespective of my proxy setup. Unable to connect to the Java VisualVM Plugins Center because of sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target Here is the error window that comes up [please see attached image] Is this a known problem or some certification issue? I have never created a trust store on my machine, could this be a problem?
