-----END CERTIFICATE-----

other PEM (base64) encoded certificates can be created without problems.
If I remove "BEGIN CERTIFICATE", "END CERTIFICATE" tag, decode base64
and generateCertificate, it works.

My cert.java program is as follows.

import java.io.*;
import java.security.*;
import java.security.cert.*;
import java.security.spec.*;
import java.security.interfaces.*;
import sun.security.util.*;
import sun.security.x509.*;
//import com.initech.iniplugin.IniPluginUtil;
public class cert {
    private static final String certBeginString="-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----";
    private static final String certEndString="-----END CERTIFICATE-----";

    public static void main(String[] args){
        try{
                FileInputStream fis=new FileInputStream(args[0]);
                DataInputStream dis=new DataInputStream(fis);

                CertificateFactory cf=CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509");
                byte[] bytes=new byte[dis.available()];
                dis.readFully(bytes);
                String decodedCert=new String(bytes);
                byte[] cc;

                        cc=decodedCert.getBytes();

                ByteArrayInputStream bais=new ByteArrayInputStream(cc);
                X509Certificate
cert=(X509Certificate)cf.generateCertificate(bais);
                System.out.println(cert.toString());
        }catch(Exception e){
            System.out.println(e);
        }
    }
}
