[SOLVED] Openhab not starting - Error downloading mvn:org.openhab.ui.bundles/org.openhab.ui.dashboard/2.5.0.M2

I just did it and… same problem, same error…

My OS can’t be that corrupted if I was able to upgrade from Jessie to Stretch, I think that the problem would have shown up during the install… It must be something else.

Reading this message here, I think might guide me to the root cause:

seems to indicate that a component of Java runtime environment is corrupted. Now I need to re-install it. I’m on it…
