Verifying Binary Compatibility

The verifyrev tool checks for binary compatibility between revisions of a package by comparing the respective export files. This scenario is illustrated in Verifying Binary Compatibility of Export Files. The export files from version 1.0 and 1.1 of package p1 are input to verifyrev. The verification examines whether the Java Card platform version rules, including those imposed for binary compatibility as defined in the Java Card Platform Virtual Machine Specification, Classic Edition, Version 3.2, have been followed.
