    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // The Chilkat PEM class was introduced in v9.5.0.49.  
    // It requires the bundle to be unlocked, as shown above.
    pem := chilkat.NewPem()

    // Load the PEM from a file.
    // If the PEM is encrypted, provide a password.  Otherwise pass an empty string for the password.
    password := "myPassword"
    success := pem.LoadPemFile("../myPemFiles/myPem.pem",password)
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(pem.LastErrorText())
        pem.DisposePem()
        return
    }

    // Note: If the app already has the PEM pre-loaded in a string variable, then load it 
    // by calling LoadPem instead.  
    pemContent := "... the PEM contents ..."
    success = pem.LoadPem(pemContent,password)
    // Check for success as before..

    // Convert to a JavaKeyStore object.
    // The alias, if a non-empty string, will be applied to the 1st private key or 
    // certificate.  All other keys and/or certificates will be assigned an auto-generated
    // alias.
    alias := "anything_I_want_here"

    // This is the passord that will be required to access the created JKS.
    jksPassword := "myJksSecret"
    jks := pem.ToJks(alias,jksPassword)
    if pem.LastMethodSuccess() == false {
        fmt.Println(pem.LastErrorText())
        pem.DisposePem()
        return
    }

    // Save the JKS to a file.  The password passed here is used for the keyed hash of the
    // entire JKS file.  This may be different (if desired) than the password for individual private keys
    // contained within the JKS.  
    success = jks.ToFile(jksPassword,"../myJksFiles/myJks.jks")
