Android is using Apache's JavaSE library called Harmony.

First of all, the "Java Keystore" (jks) format isn't supported by GNU
Classpath.

Furthermore I know that SSL stuff often caused trouble but do not
understand this enough to fix it on my own.

If you are adventurous you might try the Cacao+OpenJDK solution for your
device.
That would give you OpenJDK class library plus Cacao as the VM.

In order to build it you need to add the Jalimo SVN repo as an overlay
to OE. Disable the strict md5sum checking for now, since the files
mentioned in the overlay are not in OE's official checksum.ini .
