Richard:

In your example, you did not test date expiration (end-date
is later than start-date).
If you change your end-date to be earlier than the
start-date, 'javakey' will issue the following warnings:

warning: certificate's expiration date is earlier than the current date.
warning: certificate's expiration date is earlier than the start date.

... and then issue the cert.
