SunCertPathBuilderException : unable to find valid certification path to requested target but different issue

Question

I am trying to import a gradle project and when I try to create a Spring starter project in Spring tool suite (STS 4), I see this error.

I looked online and have added the certs for both start.spring.io and services.gradle.org but I still see the error. Could anyone help me figure this out as to what else am I missing?

It would be helpful if you will add a more detailed error. My guess is that STS points internally to a diffrent JDK/JVM then the one you added the certs for (not sure why you could not use the default in first place). – Limitary

What sort of information are you looking for? I downloaded STS from the spring.io website and installed JDK/JRE from Oracle website. Without JDK, it was giving me errors that JDK is needed but after installing JDK, it gives me this cert error. – Tahmosh

What I am saying is that the JDK STS is using is not the one you installed. Maybe this will help https://mcmap.net/q/50130/-setting-jdk-in-eclipse – Limitary

That's right. It was using some other JDK. I changed it to what I installed , restarted STS but still the same error. – Tahmosh
