SSLSocket trustStore problem [message #647218]

I am developing a java application that uses SSLSockets. The application was running ok both in and outside of Eclipse before my environment got munged on my network. I restored my environment and all is well exception my application now fails in Eclipse when trying to use the SSLSocket. Outside of Eclipse it runs ok.

When I run outside of Eclipse, my command is:

java -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/home/jja/keys/mykeystore -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword="blue" TestHH

In Eclipse, I have created a debuy configuration where the 'main' tab has 'TestHH' as the main class. The arguements tabs has:
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/home/jja/keys/mykeystore -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword="blue"

The SSL class has an initializer method with the following code:
try {
SSLSocketFactory sslsocketfactory = (SSLSocketFactory) SSLSocketFactory.getDefault();
SSLSocket sslsocket = (SSLSocket) sslsocketfactory.createSocket("localhost", 8000);

// create input stream to listen to the client (code originally in the server code)
InputStream inputstream = sslsocket.getInputStream();
InputStreamReader inputstreamreader = new InputStreamReader(inputstream);
bufferedreader = new BufferedReader(inputstreamreader);

// create output to write to the server
OutputStream outputstream = sslsocket.getOutputStream();
OutputStreamWriter outputstreamwriter = new OutputStreamWriter(outputstream);
bufferedwriter = new BufferedWriter(outputstreamwriter);
}
catch (Exception exception) {
exception.printStackTrace();
}

In the same class, I get a stack trace on the following lines:
try {
bufferedwriter.write("open " + filename + '\n');
bufferedwriter.flush(); <---- Failing line
}

(Shortened) Stack Trace:
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
at sun.security.ssl.Alerts.getSSLException(Alerts.java:192)
at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.fatal(SSLSocketImpl.java:1639 )
at sun.security.ssl.Handshaker.fatalSE(Handshaker.java:215)
at sun.security.ssl.Handshaker.fatalSE(Handshaker.java:209)
at sun.security.ssl.ClientHandshaker.serverCertificate(ClientHa ndshaker.java:1033)

I would appreciate any suggestions that can help me get the application running in Eclipse again.
