Another hack is to override the https implementation to not check the cert. Some of these functions are deprecated...

    Protocol easyhttps = null;
    try {
        easyhttps = new Protocol("https", new EasySSLProtocolSocketFactory(), 443);
    }
    catch (GeneralSecurityException e1) {
        throw new AsmAccessException(e1.getMessage(),e1);
    }
    catch (IOException e1) {
        throw new AsmAccessException(e1.getMessage(),e1);
    }
    Protocol.registerProtocol("https", easyhttps);
