public class AWSCertificateManagerExample {

   public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{

      // Retrieve your credentials from the C:\Users\name\.aws\credentials file in Windows
      // or the ~/.aws/credentials file in Linux.
      AWSCredentials credentials = null;
      try {
          credentials = new ProfileCredentialsProvider().getCredentials();
      }
      catch (Exception ex) {
          throw new AmazonClientException("Cannot load the credentials from the credential profiles file.", ex);
      }

      // Create a client.
      AWSCertificateManager client = AWSCertificateManagerClientBuilder.standard()
              .withRegion(Regions.US_EAST_1)
              .withCredentials(new AWSStaticCredentialsProvider(credentials))
              .build();

      // Create a request object and set the ARN of the certificate to be described.
      GetCertificateRequest req = new GetCertificateRequest();
      req.setCertificateArn("arn:aws:acm:region:account:certificate/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012");

      // Retrieve the certificate and certificate chain. 
      // If you recently requested the certificate, loop until it has been created.
      GetCertificateResult result = null;
      long totalTimeout = 120000l;
      long timeSlept = 0l;
      long sleepInterval = 10000l;
      while (result == null && timeSlept < totalTimeout) {
         try {
            result = client.getCertificate(req);
         }
         catch (RequestInProgressException ex) {
            Thread.sleep(sleepInterval);
         }
         catch (ResourceNotFoundException ex)
         {
            throw ex;
         }
         catch (InvalidArnException ex)
         {
            throw ex;
         }

         timeSlept += sleepInterval;
      }

      // Display the certificate information.
      System.out.println(result);
   }
}

The preceding example creates output similar to the following.

{Certificate: -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
    base64-encoded certificate
-----END CERTIFICATE-----,
CertificateChain: -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
    base64-encoded certificate chain 
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
}
