Failed to read artifact descriptor for com.elements-apps.elements-connect.api:elements-connect-api:j

[victor.kuzmychov]

Why am I getting this error?

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project technology-solutions-plugin-jira: Could not resolve dependencies for project ca.fcc.jiraplugin:technology-solutions-plugin-jira:atlassian-plugin:1.11: Failed to collect dependencies at com.elements-apps.elements-connect.api:elements-connect-api:jar:0.3.0: Failed to read artifact descriptor for com.elements-apps.elements-connect.api:elements-connect-api:jar:0.3.0: Could not transfer artifact com.elements-apps.elements-connect.api:elements-connect-api:pom:0.3.0 from/to atlassian-public (https://maven.atlassian.com/repository/public): PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target -> [Help 1]

My pom.xml is configured according to this:

https://doc.elements-apps.com/elements-connect/latest/api-guide/java-api#id-.JavaAPIv6.13-Maven

and nothing was changed there but can't compile it (was working last week)
