How to Generate Diffie-Hellman or DSA Parameters?

Java provides a cryptography algorithm parameter generator for the Diffie-Hellman protocol and DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm).

For the Diffie-Hellman protocol:
AlgorithmParameterGenerator apg
    = AlgorithmParameterGenerator.getInstance("DiffieHellman");
apg.init(512);

AlgorithmParameters ap = apg.generateParameters();
DHParameterSpec dps = (DHParameterSpec)
    ap.getParameterSpec(DHParameterSpec.class);

System.out.println("Diffie-Hellman");
System.out.println("L :" + dps.getL());
System.out.println("P :" + dps.getP());
System.out.println("G :" + dps.getG());
The generated output is:
Diffie-Hellman
L :511
P :8266077972939539471508511844788321242135959675971529125376989640166743180991072673735061975276152293501435845844404151584495666060797732285698897055150387

For the DSA:
AlgorithmParameterGenerator apg
    = AlgorithmParameterGenerator.getInstance("DSA");
apg.init(512);

AlgorithmParameters ap = apg.generateParameters();
DSAParameterSpec dps = (DSAParameterSpec)
    ap.getParameterSpec(DSAParameterSpec.class);

System.out.println("DSA");
System.out.println("P :" + dps.getP());
System.out.println("Q :" + dps.getQ());
System.out.println("G :" + dps.getG());
The generated output is:
DSA
