It doesn't show the warning if it only contains trusted certificate 
entries, right?

I wonder if you should be more specific, ex - "on a JKS or JCEKS 
keystore containing private or secret key entries". But that might 
reveal too much.

Maybe just change "will" to "may" below.

--Sean

, a warning will be shown that the keystore uses a proprietary format 
and migrating to PKCS12 is suggested. The keytool's -importkeystore 
command is also updated so that it can convert a keystore from one type 
to another if the source and destination point to the same file.”
