Can't connect to IPv6-only host from java on Mac OS

Question

I have some IPv6-only hosts. I can successfully execute curl request to it by curl
$ curl -I my.ip.v6.only.host HTTP/1.1 200 OK
But when I trying to get it from java I have an error:
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("http://my.ip.v6.only.host");
CloseableHttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpget);  
Stack trace:
INFO: I/O exception (java.net.NoRouteToHostException) caught when processing request to {}->http://my.ip.v6.only.host: No route to host

Problem has been occured on java v1.7.0_65 and v1.8.0_40, MacOS 10.10.2. On previous version MacOS 10.9.5 it works well.
What's going on? How it is possible that host is reachable by curl and unreachable from java.
Also, I've tried to play around -Djava.net.preferIPv6Addresses=true and -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=false and it couldn't help.

Using the code you supplied I was able to reproduce your errors. I've adjusted it accordingly and can connect to one of my 10.2 test databases.
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.*;
import oracle.jdbc.pool.*;
class Conn {
  public static void main (String args []) throws SQLException
    Connection conn = null;       
    OracleDataSource ods = new OracleDataSource();
    // ods.setURL(" jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:TEST");
    // conn = ods.getConnection("scott", "tiger");
    ods.setURL("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:TEST");
    conn = ods.getConnection("scott", "tiger");
    Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
    ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery("select BANNER from SYS.V_$VERSION");
    while (rset.next())
        System.out.println (rset.getString(1));   // Print col 1
    stmt.close();
}There are several different ways to configure OracleDataSources:

So, hopefully it's just a mismatch config.
