For others having this problem, it was pointed out that the origin of this bug lies in the outdated java version on mac.

To upgrade this version, I installed the latest JDK from: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html. However after installing this, the old folder doesn't get updated and requires a manual update.

To do this, navigate to: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/ where you will see 2 different directories containing jdk 1.8.0, a directory named jdk1.8.0.jdk and one named jdk1.8.0_.jdk where version is the release number (for example 111).

Now go ahead and remove the directory called jdk1.8.0.jdk (or move it to a _old folder) and create a symlink pointing towards the new one with sudo ln -s jdk1.8.0_.jdk jdk1.8.0.jdk

This solved the complete problem for me and now the error is not appearing anymore. A big thanks to @assylias and @basil-bourque for the suggestion that lead to this solution.
