Problems Running out of IDE (Netbeans) LDAP SSL

Question

I am kind of new to Java and I have a problem with a code that is using a TrustStore. Basically if I run the code within Netbeans everything work but if I do the "Clean and Build" and execute the JAR file when I check my logger out when running out of the IDE I am getting the following exception.
Mar 06, 2015 9:40:58 AM ad_pass_reset.AD_Pass_reset INFO: Bind error: javax.naming.CommunicationException: WIN-A321J1VGM4K:636 [Root exception is java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError]
Which is caused by this part
public AD_Pass_reset() {   
            Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("MyLog"); 
            try {
                Hashtable ldapEnv = new Hashtable();
                ldapEnv.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
                ldapEnv.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ldap://" + serverIP + ":636");
                ldapEnv.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
                ldapEnv.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, DAUser);
                ldapEnv.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, DAPass);
                ldapEnv.put(Context.SECURITY_PROTOCOL, "ssl");
                ldapContext = new InitialDirContext(ldapEnv);
            catch (Exception e) {
                logger.info("Bind error: " + e);
                System.exit(-1);
And from what I have found the Bind error could be caused because the code is not able to use the Certificate, here is how I call the truststore
     String keystore = "C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre7\\lib\\security\\securitycacerts";
     System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore",keystore);
     System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "12345!");
     System.setProperty("javax.net.debug", "all");
I know that my LDAP is works with the SSL because I can connect using the LDP.exe and in fact if I run my application using netbeans everything works.
Does anybody know how to get around this?
Thank you
