Hello,
I want to sign jars with my personnal key to use java web start. My key
was delivered to me from a PKI system from my company. It came in pkcs#12
format.
I guess that I have to import it in a java keystore to use with jarsigner.
I could not import this key in the standard keystore. Is there a way to do
that.
Thank you for help...
Xavier

No you don't. Java 2 1.4+ supports keystore types "pkcs12" so you
can directly use your pkcs12 file as a single-key keystore.

Jarsigner supports -storetype pkcs12
