Create a New Simulator Settings Profile

When creating a Java Card project in Eclipse, you specify the Java Card Development Kit Simulator you want to use, as multiple Simulators may be installed.

Note:

Plug-in configurations are stored within an Eclipse workspace. If you switch to another Eclipse workspace that is not configured, you will need to reconfigure the Simulator Settings and Java Card Tools Path. For additional information on reconfiguring, refer to the Set up the Eclipse Java Card Plug-in section.
  • When you start Eclipse with the Plug-in installed, the Plug-in creates a Java Card Development Kit Simulator entry with the ID: Java_Card_Simulator_1, which refers to the directory specified by the JC_HOME_SIMULATOR environment variable. The failure to create the simulator with the ID Java_Card_Simulator_1 may be due to missing environment variables. If so, create the entry manually using the instructions below.
  • Java_Card_Simulator_1 is used for running the samples provided, but you can also use it for your own Java Card applications.

Simulator management settings can be accessed as follows:

  1. In Eclipse, from the Window menu, select Preferences.
  2. In the Preferences dialog, click on the arrow to the left of Java Card Simulators to expand the section.
  3. Now you can select Java Card Simulators to add, delete or update Simulator settings.
