Keystore is used to hold the private keys.
In java, keystore can be generated from the command prompt.
This is the oracle documentation for doing the same:

You need to go to the jre bin folder . Inside that the executable 'keytool' should be present. this is used to generate the keystore.
Here's the command to generate the keystore
keytool -keystore <keystore name> -genkey -alias <keystore-alias>
example:
keytool -keystore MyKeyStore -genkey -alias MyKeyStore
Once you enter the above command, you would be prompted for certain inputs, keep providing the inputs and finally the keystore file would be generated with a .jks extension in the bin folder.
From here, you can copy the keystore file anywhere.
An example of what all would be entered once the above command is entered:
Once the keystore is generated, either keys can be added to it using command prompt or using java program.To add keys using command prompt, you can further refer to the oracle documentation here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19509-01/820-3503/ggfen/index.html I used java program to generate and add private keys to the keystore. Refer to the next post for seeing example of how to generate Asymmetric key pairs and add them to the keystore/truststore using java.
The key store that holds the public key is generally called a truststore. A truststore can be generated in the same way as demonstrated above. For example:
keytool -keystore MyTrustStore -genkey -alias MyTrustStore
In java, keystore can be generated from the command prompt.
