Using wget produces "ERROR: The certificate of `www.java.net' is not trusted."

If one calls
wget http://www.java.net/download/jdk8/archive/b129/binaries/jdk-8-fcs-bin-b129-linux-x64-07_feb_2014.tar.gz
you might get

so append the --no-check-certificate parameter to wget when executing this command,  and call it like

wget http://www.java.net/download/jdk8/archive/b129/binaries/jdk-8-fcs-bin-b129-linux-x64-07_feb_2014.tar.gz --no-check-certificate
