Before anybody closes the question or flags it as repeated, I must say I've been researching all the internet and could not find any similar problem.
The thing is I installed a fresh Linux Mint 19 in a Virtual Box image. So after installing Java 8 I downloaded Eclipse Scala and any dependency I try to add to my new project won't be downloaded and an error is marked in its pom.xml .
After checking the urls and doing exactly the same on my Eclipse Scala for Windows (in the host machine) it works, but not for the Linux one.
I think it should be an eclipse bug as it has to do with certificates.
If it helps, I'm trying to write some Apache Flink programs, but can't get to do it with this error...
I attach the error:

Edit: just some grammar and clarity
I solved the problem by removing the old Openjdk there was installed.
As user arcuri82 says in this question :
I speculate (not sure) that the problem arises if you have more than one JDK, some old one does not have proper certificate, and somehow Maven picks up that old one even if you are using the right javac
So I gave it a try and that did the trick. I hope it can help anybody else facing this problem.
