Does anyone have detailed, step by step, instructions for extracting encryption keys from 509 certificates, and then storing them inside an encrypted jks file?

The Java VM installation includes a tool for performing this exact type of work - on windows systems it is called keytool.exe.
Depending no the situation, there may be multiple steps to the process. For many cases, the two steps in this example will do:
Create a key store. A command similar to the following will create the keystore: keytool -genkey -alias -keystore keystore.jks
Import the signed certificate + private key into the keystore. The following command will do the trick:
keytool -import -keystore keystore.jks -file .crt
The certificate can be provided in a number of different formats. Full documentation is available on Sun's site, here:
