Create a Java Keystore from a openssl Self-Signed certificate file

Question

I am beginner in Cryptography concept. I want connect to a server that use SSL for its security by OpenSSL. It give to me its certificate file in PEM format. I want use its certificate file in java. I think must convert server certificate file to Java TrustStore.

Do I think? Do you can a suggestion for me?

(Sorry if I am using the wrong terminology or grammar, I am learning english language.)

You should be able to import it directly. See the documentation for the keytool utility.

I am confused. I must create a keystore with its private key and import server certificate to it?

@MJM, no you just create a keystore (which you'll use as a truststore) by importing this certificate into it (using -import, same command as here, without the Restlet-specific config and without using the "wrong way").
