Unless you wanted a pure Java solution to that need, there are already
good tools for that on major platforms; OpenSSL for *nix and the
certificate management MMC console on Windows.  We developed a CLI
tool for an open source Java crypto library we wrote, but that was
more for completeness than anything else.
(http://code.google.com/p/vt-middleware/wiki/vtcrypt#enc_-_Symmetric_Encryption_Operations).

If you wanted to make keypair generation painfully simple, I think the
only way you could top the platform-specific tools would be to provide
a tool in the CAS admin UI.  I would recommend omitting it and adding
it only in response to feature requests for simplified keypair
management.
