The following example shows how to use the [DescribeAcmeExternalAccountBinding](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/acm/latest/APIReference/API_DescribeAcmeExternalAccountBinding.html) function.

```
package com.amazonaws.samples;

import com.amazonaws.services.certificatemanager.AWSCertificateManagerClientBuilder;
import com.amazonaws.services.certificatemanager.AWSCertificateManager;
import com.amazonaws.services.certificatemanager.model.DescribeAcmeExternalAccountBindingRequest;
import com.amazonaws.services.certificatemanager.model.DescribeAcmeExternalAccountBindingResult;

public class AWSCertificateManagerSample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        AWSCertificateManager client = AWSCertificateManagerClientBuilder.defaultClient();

        // Create the request.
        DescribeAcmeExternalAccountBindingRequest req = new DescribeAcmeExternalAccountBindingRequest()
            .withAcmeExternalAccountBindingArn("arn:aws:acm:us-east-1:123456789012:acme-endpoint/ep-example/acme-external-account-binding/eab-example");

        // Describe the external account binding.
        DescribeAcmeExternalAccountBindingResult result = client.describeAcmeExternalAccountBinding(req);
        System.out.println(result);
    }
}
```
