Description

MEKeyTool is a Java language utility used to manage a keystore that holds public key certificates required to use the support for secure networking (HTTPS) provided by the MIDP reference implementation and the J2ME Wireless Toolkit.

It is also provided in source code form as part of the MIDP reference implementation.

When used with the J2ME Wireless Toolkit, MEKeyTool maintains a certificate keystore (it is referred to here as the ME keystore), that is held, by default, in a file called %INSTALL_DIR%\appdb\_main.ks. All operations implicitly apply to this keystore, unless you supply an alternative using the -MEkeystore option. MEKeyTool can list the content of the keystore, import a certificate from a J2SE keystore, or delete a certificate from the keystore. In order to make proper use of MEKeyTool, you need to be familiar with the J2SE keystore and the keytool command that is used ...
