[SOLVED] How to install certificate in Java1.6 so that upload from Caliper tool works

I am using Caliper to run some benchmarks and upload results to https://microbenchmarks.appspot.com/

However, the upload fails due to certificate problems with SSL (see stack trace at bottom).

How do I solve this problem?

OS: Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9 JDK: 1.6.0_27-b07-395.jdk

After trying some other SO solutions I see that in my JDK dir: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0_27-b07-395.jdk/Contents/Home/lib/security

there is a file cacerts that is in fact a link to this file:

/System/Library/Java/Support/CoreDeploy.bundle/Contents/Home/lib/security/cacerts

But that file doesn't exist.

I tried deleting the link and creating the store file with a fake cert as described in another response. Now it fails with:
