Before Installing the Java Card Development Kit Simulator

Before installing the Java Card Development Kit Simulator, be sure to install the following software:

  • Java Development Kit (JDK) - The tools in this development kit were tested with Oracle JDK 11 (64 bit version) and OpenJDK 11 (64 bit version). If you are planning to develop your own applications, you should use JDK 11. You can download and install the JDK release according to the instructions on the website:

    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads

  • Eclipse IDE (optional) - Using the Eclipse IDE as your development environment is recommended, although you can also run the samples and the development kit tools from the command line.

    Download the Windows Eclipse IDE (Eclipse Neon, Oxygen, or Photon) from the following URL, and install it according to instructions on the website:

    http://eclipse.org/downloads

  • Apache Ant - Most Eclipse distributions include Apache Ant. If you did not install Eclipse, you should install Apache Ant, as it is required to run the samples from command line and to build the cref from source code. Version 1.9.13 was used to test the release. You can download and install Apache Ant from http://ant.apache.org.

  • GCC compiler (For source package only) - Minimal GNU for Windows (MinGW), version 6.3.0 is required to build the cref and tools from sources.

    You can download MinGW from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw. For MinGW installation information, go to http://www.mingw.org.
