A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
An RSA private key created with keytool can not be read from a java program.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run the command: "keytool -genkey -alias rsatest -keyalg RSA -keysize 1024 -keypass abc123 -keystore testkeystore -storepass abc123 -storetype JCEKS"

Run the provided test case with the arguments "read testkeystore"

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The test case should print the following information:

Found alias: rsatest
rsatest key algorithm: RSA
rsatest key format: PKCS8
ACTUAL -
The test case could find the key but threw an exception on "getKey".

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
        at com.sun.crypto.provider.SunJCE_z.a(DashoA6275)
        at com.sun.crypto.provider.JceKeyStore.engineGetKey(DashoA6275)

        at Test.main(Test.java:29)

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
