Java Card Applet Development

To develop an applet, you should do the following:

  • Install and Setup — Install and setup the development environment. See Installation.

  • Review Samples — Read, run the samples, and examine the code from the Simulator bundles.

  • Develop — Develop your applet and compile the code to create the Java class files. Then use the Java Card Development Kit Tools to convert the classes and create a CAP file that can be deployed into the simulator. See Using Java Card Development Kit Tools for more information on how to use the tools.

  • Deploy — Deploy your application to the Java Card simulator.

  • Debug — Debug the applet. Use the Java Card debug proxy included in the Simulator development kit.

The figure shows the applet development and deployment process.
