just wanted to mention that this was fixed in Java 1.8 and the connection is working properly with the default installation of Ubuntu.
i haven't tested Java 1.7.

thank you.

Title:
  WARNING: no suitable primes in /etc/ssh/primes

Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  
  For instance when the KexAlgorithms option in sshd_config is set to include Diffie Hellman group exchange (e.g. diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256), and the /etc/ssh/moduli file is regenerated to include only 4096 bit primes, the ssh server may log the above warning message to /var/log/auth.log, probably because the ssh client trying to log in does not allow for the use of 4096 bit primes during the key exchange. The alleged problem is the reference to /etc/ssh/primes instead of /etc/ssh/moduli. It would appear that the file /etc/ssh/primes is neither used by ssh server, nor documented.

  I note that this error appears to have been reported in several places
  on the web in the past years, but to no avail (e.g.
  http://misc.openbsd.narkive.com/tZPNEoZk/no-suitable-primes)

  
  Release: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
  Package: openssh-server, Version: 1:6.6p1-2ubuntu2.3
