regression from 1.1 to 1.2.2: Add Maven 2.0+ Project using https POM Url where the source server has self signed certificate

Using the stand-alone continuum in both cases, when upgrading from 1.1 to 1.2.2 this problem exists:

1. Add Maven 2.0+ Project, enter https POM Url. For instance:

https://example.com/path/to/pom.xml

(example.com has a self signed certificate)

This causes an error shown in the logs:
