Java information

To list keys in java keystore.

/usr/java/jre1.6.0_03/bin/keytool --list --keystore /usr/java/jre1.6.0_03/lib/security/cacerts

look deeper at certificates

/usr/java/latest/jre/bin/keytool -list -keystore /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_45/jre/lib/security/cacerts -storepass changeit -v --alias my_nice_certificate

Import key in java keystore.

openssl x509 -outform der -in certificate.pem -out certificate.der
keytool -import -alias your-alias -keystore cacerts -file certificate.der

Copy certificate to file

keytool -export -alias special_private_key -file special_private_key.crt -keystore cacerts

Import keys from one javastore to another

/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_45/bin/keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore /tmp/cacerts -destkeystore /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_45/jre/lib/security/cacerts -srcstorepass changeit -deststorepass changeit -srcalias special_private_key

remove key from keystore

keytool -delete -keystore myfile.jks -alias 'alias_from_keytool_-list'

List content of der.

Garbage Collection

PSYoungGen refers to the garbage collector in use for the minor collection. PS stands for Parallel Scavenge. The first set of numbers are the before/after sizes of the young generation and the second set are for the entire heap. (Diagnosing a Garbage Collection problem details the format) The name indicates the generation and collector in question, the second set are for the entire heap.

An example of an associated full GC also shows the collectors used for the old and permanent generations:

3.757: [Full GC [PSYoungGen: 2672K->0K(35584K)] 
           [ParOldGen: 3225K->5735K(43712K)] 5898K->5735K(79296K) 
           [PSPermGen: 13533K->13516K(27584K)], 0.0860402 secs]

Finally, breaking down one line of your example log output:

8109.128: [GC [PSYoungGen: 109884K->14201K(139904K)] 691015K->595332K(1119040K), 0.0454530 secs]
