Hmm...yeah, sorry. I've no idea why those Java versions are different or why linux wouldn't work.

May be related to #229 and fixed by #231 ?

I tried to reproduce this with the Dockerfile but using v4.3.1, and it failed because maven could not resolve dependencies:

It looks like the maven version (maven.noarch 0:3.2.2-4.fc21) on Fedora 21 is outdated and does not use the new https endpoints, so it's impossible to reproduce with the exact environment.

Voting to close this unless it can be reproduced with an environment that is not out of support.
