Login to AWS with the Java SDK and role assumption

The following seems to work for me as contents of .aws/credentials:

[default]
region = eu-west-1
role_arn = arn:aws:iam::12345:role/blubb
source_profile = blabla
[blabla]
aws_access_key_id = XXX
aws_secret_access_key = YYY
aws_session_token = ZZZ
valid_until = DDD

The content of .aws/config does not seem to matter. So it can be whatever it needs to be for the CLI.
