keytool:importCertificate

Full name:

org.codehaus.mojo:keytool-maven-plugin:2.0.2:importCertificate

Description:

To import a certificate into a keystore using Java KeyStore API.

This Mojo has been refactored to use Java's KeyStore API directly instead of executing external keytool command, providing better performance and error handling.

See keytool documentation.

Attributes:

  • Requires a Maven project to be executed.
  • The goal is thread-safe and supports parallel builds.
  • Since version: 1.2.

Required Parameters

Name Type Since Description
<alias> String - Key alias.
<keystore> File - Keystore file location.
Default: ${project.build.directory}/keystore

Optional Parameters

Name Type Since Description
<file> String 1.2 Input file name. See options.
<keypass> String 1.2 Key password. See options.
<noprompt> boolean 1.2 Do not prompt. See options.
<skip> boolean 1.1 Set to true to disable the plugin.
Default: false
<skipIfAliasExists> boolean 1.8 If value is true, skip the import silently if the alias already exists in the keystore. This is useful when running multiple executions without clean, allowing idempotent builds.
Default: false
<skipIfExist> boolean 1.3 If value is true, then will do nothing if keystore already exists.
<storepass> String - Keystore password.
<storetype> String - Keystore type (e.g., "JKS", "PKCS12").
<trustcacerts> boolean 1.2 Trust certificates from cacerts. See options.
