Rome XmlReader not reading https feed

I am trying to read https://d3ca01230439ce08d4aab0c61810af23:[email protected]/recordings.atom

using Rome but its giving me error

   INFO: Illegal access: this web application instance has been stopped already.  Could not load org.bouncycastle.jcajce.provider.symmetric.AES$ECB.  The eventual following stack trace is caused by an error thrown for debugging purposes as well as to attempt to terminate the thread which caused the illegal access, and has no functional impact.

and

   Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: https://d3ca01230439ce08d4aab0c61810af23:[email protected]/recordings.atom .

I am doing this 

    URL url =  new URL("https://d3ca01230439ce08d4aab0c61810af23:[email protected]/recordings.atom ");

    try {
    SyndFeedInput input = new SyndFeedInput();

        SyndFeed feed = input.build(new XmlReader(url));

        System.out.println("Feed Author:"+feed.getAuthor());

        for(Object entries: feed.getEntries()){

            SyndEntry entry = (SyndEntry) entries;

            System.out.println("title :"+entry.getTitle());
            System.out.println("description : "+entry.getDescription());

        }


    } catch (IllegalArgumentException | FeedException | IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Do I need to put the username password somewhere?

update

This I have done

  URL url =  new URL("https://d3ca01230439ce08d4aab0c61810af23:[email protected]/recordings.atom");

    HttpURLConnection httpcon = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();

    String encoding = new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode("username:pass".getBytes());

    httpcon.setRequestProperty  ("Authorization", "Basic " + encoding);

You could also use the following in place of 

String encoding = new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode("username:password".getBytes());

to this:

String BASIC_AUTH = "Basic " + Base64.encodeToString("username:password".getBytes(), Base64.NO_WRAP);

I find this a bit more elastic when it comes to authentication, this code works with and without authentication:

URL feedUrl = new URL("http://the.url.to/the/feed");
//URL feedUrl = new URL("http://user:[email protected]/the/feed");

HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) feedUrl.openConnection();
if (feedUrl.getUserInfo() != null) {
    String encoding = new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode(feedUrl.getUserInfo().getBytes());
    connection.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " + encoding);
}

SyndFeedInput input = new SyndFeedInput();
SyndFeed feed = input.build(new XmlReader(connection));

When I hit that URL from my browser it asks for basic authentication. You can do this with ROME:

URL feedUrl = new URL(feed)
HttpURLConnection httpcon = (HttpURLConnection)feedUrl.openConnection();
String encoding = new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode("username:password".getBytes());
httpcon.setRequestProperty  ("Authorization", "Basic " + encoding);
SyndFeedInput input = new SyndFeedInput();
SyndFeed feed = input.build(new XmlReader(httpcon));

You probably shouldn't use sun.misc.BASE64Encoder. Rather find another one somewhere.
