I am on a fresh install of Ubuntu having just installed OpenJDK:

OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode) on Ubuntu 64 bit 10.10

Not sure if this is relevant, but I'm running it from within VMWare Fusion.

The following line:

javax.net.SSLContext.getDefault(); // same as getInstance("Default")

throws the following exception:

java.net.SocketException: java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: Default SSLContext not available

My colleagues and I have tried this on several machines, all fresh installs of Ubuntu, and keep getting this. I was advised to try getInstance("TLSv1"), but this threw the same error. Seems like something really fundamental to not be working so I figure we must be doing something wrong.
