If your keys are really important to you, you could use the
java.security.KeyStore API methods from the beta2 release to
load your keystore and read its keys and certs and store them
into a file (in the format returned by getEncoded()).

Then you write a program that parses the encoded keys and certs
from the file and writes them to a new keystore file,
using the java.security.KeyStore API methods from beta4.
