Import self signed certificates into Netty

Question

I need to set up SSL for my Netty server for which I am planning to use a self signed certificate. I wanted to know what steps are taken in this?

Use openssl to get .key and .csr files. Do I need to convert the .csr file to pem?
How do I import a certificate into a keystore? Is this cacerts on a linux machine?
Do I also need to import the keys to the keystore?
