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:
