FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_91"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.91-b14, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Windows 7 SP1

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The following code runs successfully when I run it as stand alone using java.exe. However, it doesn't run from eclipse or in the Weblogic server. The ftp site has no issue connecting from any FTP clients.

FTPSClient ftpsClient = new FTPSClient("TLS", false);
ftpsClient.setAuthValue("TLS");
ftpsClient.addProtocolCommandListener(new PrintCommandListener(new PrintWriter(System.out)));

ftpsClient.connect("@host_name@",21);

The SSL certificate for the FTP site is a self-signed certificate. Adding the certificate to Java trusted store didn't help either.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Try to connect to a secure FTP site using FTPSClient from commons-net jar from apache. The SSL certificate for the site must be a self signed certificate

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Must be able to connect to the secure ftp site
ACTUAL -
