Proxy https://flywaydb.org/repo repository using Nexus OSS?

I'm trying to proxy https://flywaydb.org/repo using Nexus Repository OSS v2.13.0 because we rely on flyway-sbt sbt plugin.

I can download the plugin fine if I add 

resolvers += "Flyway" at "https://flywaydb.org/repo"

to plugins.sbt

But we want to proxy the artefacts using a local Nexus repository because we don't want our builds to depend on a server that is outside our control.

However when I add the server to Nexus (using Maven2 as provider and format) Nexus is unable to proxy artefacts and I get following error in logs:

[proxy-3-thread-5] admin org.sonatype.nexus.proxy.maven.maven2.M2Repository - Remote peer of proxy repository "flywaydb.org" [id=flywaydb.org] threw a org.sonatype.nexus.proxy.ItemNotFoundException exception. Auto-blocking this repository to prevent further connection-leaks and known-to-fail outbound connections until administrator fixes the problems, or Nexus detects remote repository as healthy. - Cause(s): Remote peer of repository M2Repository(id=flywaydb.org) detected as unavailable.

I would be happy to hear if somebody was able to get this working. We successfully proxy several other external repositories.

The problem was that we ran Nexus using an old Java 6 version. Java threw an exception which seems to be related to SSL communication. Running Nexus using Java 8 solved the problem for us.
