lbruun opened a new issue, #176:
URL: https://github.com/apache/netbeans-mavenutils-nbm-maven-plugin/issues/176

   
   For the Maven goal `nbm:nbm`  we need to document the [type of keystore 
expected](https://bits.netbeans.org/mavenutilities/nbm-maven-plugin/nbm-maven-plugin/nbm-mojo.html#keystore).
   
   I'm actually not sure what the answer, but I would assume it would be JKS.  
The reason why it is important to document this is because the JDK is 
head-over-heals on its way away from JKS in favor of PKCS#12.  Or at least, 
that is my impression.
   
   Today JKS is a legacy format which there is no need for anymore in the JDK. 
As of Java 9, PKCS#12 is the default keystore format. From what I understand, 
the JDK's support for the PKCS#12 caught up with that of JKS in Java 8 meaning 
from this version onwards the JKS format no longer had any edge over PKCS#12 
format, feature wise. Hence, JKS is today redundant.
   
   For now, this ticket is solely about documenting what it expected by the 
`nbm-maven-plugin`, not to implement support for something else than JKS.
