javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException after installation of a new JDK on MacOSX

• After installing the new JDK (1.6.0_26) as normal user having the authentication dialog pop up for my admin account. I had loads of problems with javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException popping up.
• I even was not able to start the /Applications/Utilities/Java\ Preferences.app/ and got a strange error.
• Logging in as admin did not help either, I still was not able to start the preference app.
• I downloaded the JDK as admin again and repeated the installation.
• I rebooted my system and now was able to open the preference app, reset to default options and the javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException were gone.

There are two branches, one working with git and one with Subversion (in the master branch).
