The password alias work turned out to be more complex than expected,
and internal resource issues have prevented us from completing it.
This work was further complicated by the need to interact with the
JDK team for PKCS#12 support; as you might imagine the JDK team is
currently busy with other security issues.
We're going to need to defer this work until Java EE 8.
Sorry.
