Where is sun.security.tools.KeyTool

Question

I have read that I can only create certificates using the Keytool. However, I would like to present my users with a GUI where they can enter their details (similar to the ones that the Keytool asks), and once they press OK, my application will create a certificate for them.
Can I create a certificate programmatically. (I don't want to tell my users: "Please, go to the command line and enter 'keytool -genkey .....' ")
I was told that there is an API for sun.security.tools.KeyTool, but I cannot seem to find this API.
Any thoughts

Answer 1

I am in the same boat of trying to generate keys/certificates programmatically. I have used the KeyTool program. It's shortcoming is that you are calling the main(args []) method which does not throw an exception. Thus, if you execute a command (-genkey, -import, etc) that throws an exception, say where the -alias argument for the -import command already exists, the runtime exception kills your entire process, in my case it shutsdown tomcat ;( . Anyway, I used the Runtime.exec() call to execute commands so I could detect and handle error conditions. My problem now is that my -import call is just hanging and not returning (and I have run the same command from the command line with success).
In short, I am going to look at the links above for third party APIs for certificate generation.
Is there a more graceful or forgiving API from Sun other than the KeyTool program to generate and manage keys/certificates?
Thanks in advance for your help and ideas.
