Description
To add certificates to a Java image you need to use "keytool" e.g:
keytool -import -alias $filename -file $filename -keystore /etc/ssl/certs/java/cacerts -storepass changeit -noprompt
There are probably other platforms with similar bespoke solutions. In these cases we could add a flag (e.g. --add-java-cert) or try to detect if a Java image was being used.

Research direction
Start with the existing certificate-insertion flow and CLI options, then compare them with the Java keytool command and /etc/ssl/certs/java/cacerts path described in the issue. Done should mean a defined and tested behavior for Java certificate stores; support for other platforms should be explicitly scoped.
