There is a "how to use javakey" for signing at
http://java.sun.com/security/usingJavakey.html

You might also check out the demo at
http://java.sun.com/security/example/sign

We don't have all the integrated tools support for using keys generated
with javakey with the JCE APIs.

Think of the technology that is out there now as part of the first step,
a basic technology release. The integration with tools, and tying things
together with a certificate management infrastructure, is part of what we
are working on for the next major JDK release.

It's interesting that all your questions do concern key management
and certificate management! We know that this is a big need that everyone
has.
