The development kit includes an Eclipse plug-in to assist you in developing Java Card applications. Almost all of the choices presented by the plug-in dialogs correspond to command-line options of the development kit tools (cref, converter, scriptgen and apdutool) which are described elsewhere in this user guide. The plug-in runs those tools with the options that you select.
This section includes procedures for performing the following tasks:
The Eclipse plug-in provides a convenient way to develop Java Card applets. To install the plug-in:
When you create a Java Card project in Eclipse, you must identify the platform, which is the location of the development kit, and provide settings for the device that the simulator will create. You may have more than one simulated device associated with a platform.
Sample_Platform, which points to the directory that is set in the JC_CLASSIC_HOME environment variable, and
Sample_Device, which contains the settings for cref (the simulator). See Using the Reference Implementation for more information about cref and its options.
To change the directory of the Java Card platform or the device settings for a project:
