Thank you for the reply. I am not behind any http proxies. Interesting point about the JDK version you use with NB 12. Does NB 12 support JDK 8? I looked around but don’t see any information on that. Am I missing something obvious?

I am and the DLP I am behind messes with HTTPS traffic and certs. I've had to import a trusted cert at system level (also Fedora 31, but running selinux and firewalld). A few java programs I've run had this problem; just had this with JMeter a week or so ago. I used keytool to import my DLP cert and the issue went away (JDK8). That said, I am running NB 12 under JDK 14, and don't recall this with NB12; when I started using it a couple of weeks ago (and don't' recall importing my DLP cert into my JDK14 install).

When selecting the ‘Check for Updates’ under Plugins menu I am receiving this error… Unable to connect to the NetBeans Distribution because of sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target The URL https://netbeans.apache.org/nb/updates/12.0/updates.xml.gz under Settings for my “NetBeans Distribution” portal works fine in the browser. I can download the .gz file no problem. The same cert issue occurs with the NetBeans Plugin Portal. My environment: Fedora 31 - SELinux disabled, stopped firewalld java version "1.8.0_45" The only thing I’ve tried, is importing *.apache.org <http://apache.org> .pem certificate into cacerts. Is there a way to gather more information from the exception? I am behind a company firewall, but I figured if the URL worked in the browser then I’d be fine there. Also, checking for updates/plugins works fine in Netbeans 10, and 11.2. Does anyone know what the issue may be? Thank you
