In [[Oracle WebLogic Server]], a file with extension ''jks'' serves as keystore.

The [[Java Development Kit]] maintains a [[Certificate Authority|CA]] keystore in jre/lib/security/cacerts. JDKs provide a tool named ''keytool''<ref>[http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/tooldocs/solaris/keytool.html keytool - Key and Certificate Management Tool]</ref> to manipulate the keystore. ''keytool'' has no functionality to extract the private key out of the keystore, but this is possible with third-party tools like jksExportKey<ref>[http://miteff.com/jksexportkey jksExportKey - A free tool for exporting private keys out of the keystore as standalone files]</ref> and, CERTivity.<ref>[http://www.edulib.com/products/keystores-manager/ CERTivity - A multi-platform visual tool for managing keystores]</ref>, and Portecle<ref>[http://portecle.sourceforge.net Portecle - Portecle is an open-source GUI application for creating, managing and examining keystores.]</ref>
