first I generate a private RSA keyfile with OpenSSL and then convert it into an encrypted "der" file:

$ openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -inform PEM -outform DER -in private_key.pem -out private_key.der

Next I try to decrypt this file from Java using the following code(at this stage I already read the file into the byte[] key array using code that is at the bottom of this post):

public static byte[] decryptPrivateKey(byte[] key) throws IOException, NoSuchAlgorithmException, InvalidKeySpecException, NoSuchPaddingException, InvalidKeyException, InvalidAlgorithmParameterException, IllegalBlockSizeException, BadPaddingException {
    PBEKeySpec passKeySpec = new PBEKeySpec("p".toCharArray()); //my password

    EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo encryptedKey = new EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo(key);
    System.out.println(encryptedKey.getAlgName());
    //PBEWithMD5AndDES
    System.out.println("key length: " + key.length);
    //key length: 677
    SecretKeyFactory keyFac = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance(encryptedKey.getAlgName());
    SecretKey passKey = keyFac.generateSecret(passKeySpec);

     // Create PBE Cipher
    Cipher pbeCipher = Cipher.getInstance(encryptedKey.getAlgName());
    // Initialize PBE Cipher with key and parameters
    pbeCipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, passKey, encryptedKey.getAlgParameters());

    // Decrypt the private key(throws the exception)
    return pbeCipher.doFinal(key);
}

I get the following stack trace on the return statement above:

Exception in thread "main" javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSizeException: Input length must be multiple of 8 when decrypting with padded cipher

The key is read from the "der" file as a byte array:

public static PrivateKey getPrivateKey() throws Exception {
    byte[] key = null;
    try(final InputStream resourceStream = getMyClass().getResourceAsStream("private_key.der")) { //$NON-NLS-1$\r
        key = ByteStreams.toByteArray(resourceStream);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    key = decryptPrivateKey(key);
}

The solution is:

return pbeCipher.doFinal(encryptedKey.getEncryptedData());
