Java Card Applet Development
To develop an applet, you should do the following:
-
Install and Setup — Install and setup the development environment. Using the Eclipse IDE and Java Card plug-in is recommended. See Installation.
-
Review Samples — Read Running the Samples, run the samples, and examine the code.
-
Develop — Develop your applet and compile the code to create the Java class files. Then use the Java Card Development Kit Tools to convert the classes and create a CAP file that can be downloaded to the simulator. See Using the Java Card Development Kit Tools for more information on how to use the tools. Also, see the chapters in Part II for more information about various programming issues.
-
Deploy — Deploy your application to the Java Card simulator. See Packaging and Deploying Your Application.
-
Debug — Debug the applet. Use the Java Card debug proxy included in the development kit. See Debugging Applications.
The figure shows the applet development and deployment process.
