Converter

Runs Converter to generate CAP, EXP and JCA files from a Java technology-based package. By default the Java Card platform converter creates CAP and EXP files for the input package. However, if any one of the CAP, JCA or EXP flags are enabled, only the output files enabled are generated.

Table B-5 Parameters for Converter

Attribute	Description	Required
PackageName	Fully qualified name of the package being converted.	Yes, if the configuration file is not provided.
PackageAID	AID of the package being converted.	Yes, if the configuration file is not provided.
MajorMinorVersion	Major and Minor version numbers of the package, for example, 1.2 (where 1 is major version number and 2 is minor version number).	Yes, if the configuration file is not provided.
CAP	If enabled, tells the converter to create a CAP file.	No
EXP	If enabled, tells the converter to create a EXP file.	No
JCA	If enabled, tells the converter to create a JCA file.	No
ClassDir	The root directory of the class hierarchy. Specifies the directory where the converter looks for class files.	No
Int	If enabled, turns on support for the 32-bit integer type.	No
Debug	If enabled, enables generation of debugging information.	No
ExportPath	Root directories where the Converter looks for export files.	No
ExportMap	If enabled, tells the converter to use the token mapping from the pre-defined export file of the package being converted. The converter looks for the export file in the exportpath.	No
Outputdirectory	Sets the output directory where the output files are placed.	No
Verbose	If enabled, enables verbose converter output.	No
noWarn	If enabled, instructs the Converter to not report warning messages.	No
Mask	If enabled, tells the Converter that this package is for mask, so restrictions on native methods are relaxed.	No
NoVerify	If enabled, tells the Converter to turn off verification. Verification is turned on by default.	No
classpath	Classpath to use for this task. If required JAR files are not already in the system classpath, you can specify this attribute to put them in the classpath when this task is executed.	No
dir	The directory to invoke the Java VM in.	No
nobanner	Set this element to true if you do not want the Capgen banner showing.	No
version	Prints Converter version number.	No
ConfigFile	Configuration file containing all the configuration parameters for the converter.	No
target	If enabled, tells the converter the Java Card platform version on which the CAP file that is generated is meant to be loaded. If not enabled, the default value will be 3.2.0. Other valid values are 3.0.4, 3.0.5 and 3.1.0.	No

In addition to the parameters specified in the preceding table, the target Java Card platform can be specified for the converter through the environment variable JC_TARGET_PLATFORM. If this environment variable is set, then the converter creates the CAP files for the specified target platform.
