Create AWS credentials programmatically

I understand how to create an AWS profile (with some access keys) on a machine locally through the command line. I 'm just wondering if there is a way to do it through the JAVA SDK.

The aws configure command is simply storing information in the .aws/credentials and.aws/config files. You can programmatically create those files if you wish — they are just text file. There are no API calls involved.

For the contents and format of the file, see: Configuration and Credential Files - AWS Command Line Interface

~/.aws/credentials

[default]
aws_access_key_id=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE
aws_secret_access_key=wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY

~/.aws/config

[default]
region=us-west-2
output=json
