Confirming System Variables

Certain system variables are set during the installation process. If you are not able to build samples from the command line, or if something seems to be wrong with the Eclipse plug-in operation, verify that the following variables and paths are set correctly:

  • JAVA_HOME system variable must be set to the JDK software root directory and its bin\ in the PATH.
  • ANT_HOME system variable must be set to the Ant root directory and its bin\ in the PATH.
  • JC_HOME_SIMULATOR variable must be set to the Java Card Development Kit Simulator root directory.
  • The Java Card Development Kit bin\ directory must be in the PATH .
  • The MinGW bin\ directory must be in the PATH. MinGW is only required if the development kit source bundle is installed.
