1) Use 'keytool' with option -genseckey

2) Use SecureRandom and store in a Java Keystore.

3) Use a Secure Random with something like http://www.strongkey.org/

4) Use hardware encryption such as produced by nCipher and others.

There are many other approaches and I would suggest that you bring in an expert to advise you.
