Yet another alternative for encoding using Guava's BaseEncoding:

import com.google.common.io.BaseEncoding;

public static final String LINE_SEPARATOR = System.getProperty("line.separator");
public static final int LINE_LENGTH = 64;

And then:

String encodedCertText = BaseEncoding.base64()
                                     .withSeparator(LINE_SEPARATOR, LINE_LENGTH)
                                     .encode(cert.getEncoded());
