ping https: //desktop-PC Ping request could not find host https: //desktop-PC. Please check the name and try again.

Answer 1

Have you tried using raw IP addresses instead of names? This look more like a DNS resolving issue, not Java issue.

Answer 2

If the repository is on the same machine, shouldn't you be using localhost as the server name?

Also you seem to be using https. That implies that there should be a http server running on your machine, and that your DNS is set to resolve your loopback address to the domain name desktop-PC. Are you sure you have a server running on your machine, and that the DNS is properly configured?
