From my point of view its all to me.

It seems kinda weird, but I'd guess the key is this:

at com.sun.deploy.net.proxy.DeployProxySelector.connectFailed(Unknown Source)

Could it be that you have some weird and/or illegal proxy settings set for Java? (Mind you, Java uses its own Proxy settings, which you can check/change in the Java control panel)

Ah, that did it, changed the proxy settings back to default and everything went smoothly.
