  13. The Eclipse Plug-in has module dependencies. To provide these dependencies to Eclipse, you must edit the eclipse.ini file, which can be found inside the Eclipse installation folder. The following two lines must be added after -vmargs:
    • On Linux:
      --module-path=<absolute-path-to-jc-simulator>/client/AMService/amservice.jar:/<absolute-path-to-jc-simulator>/client/COMService/extension.jar:/<absolute-path-to-jc-simulator>/client/COMService/socketprovider.jar 
--add-modules=ALL-MODULE-PATH

      Please be sure that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable is set to the OpenSSL library location before running Eclipse.

    • On Windows:
      --module-path=<absolute-path-to-jc-simulator>\client\AMService\amservice.jar;\<absolute-path-to-jc-simulator>\client\COMService\extension.jar;\<absolute-path-to-jc-simulator>\client\COMService\socketprovider.jar 
--add-modules=ALL-MODULE-PATH

Note:

Be sure to change <absolute-path-to-jc-home-simulator> to the fully qualified installation path of the Java Card Simulator.
