To generate keystores:

keytool -genkey -alias server -keyalg RSA -keystore server.jks
keytool -genkey -alias client -keyalg RSA -keystore client.jks

Getting server's self signed public key certificate and storing it in client's keystore and getting and storing client's self signed public key certificate in server's keystore:

keytool -export -file server.cert -keystore server.jks -storepass 123456 -alias server
keytool -export -file client.cert -keystore client.jks -storepass 123456 -alias client

Import certificate files in the JKS files:

keytool -import -file client.cert -keystore server.jks -storepass 123456 -alias client
keytool -import -file server.cert -keystore client.jks -storepass 123456 -alias server
