Javax.smartcardio package not found in Java source file

Question

I downloaded the latest JDK from developer.apple.com, but now I cannot find the javax.smartcardio package in the source package (src.jar) that came with it. I unpacked the JAR file, but simply can't find the stated package. Can you help me out?

Answer 1

I can confirm the issue here (Mountain Lion, 10.8.5). A very simple program (attached below) that just enumerates terminals and checks if a card is present will crash:
If Apple JDK6 is used in 64-bit mode (without supplying the -d32 argument)
If Oracle JDK7 is used (can not switch to 64-bit, uses)
It will work if:
If Apple JDK6 is forced into 32-bit mode using -d32
If Oracle JDK7 version of libj2pcsc.dylib is replaced with a patched version
javax.smartcardio on Mac OS X is in a truly sad state. :-(
Can anyone suggest alternatives for Smartcard communication on Mac OS X fat clients?
package com.example.smartcardio;
import javax.smartcardio.CardTerminal;
import javax.smartcardio.CardTerminals;
import javax.smartcardio.TerminalFactory;
public class TestWaitForChanges {
          public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
                    CardTerminals terminals = TerminalFactory.getDefault().terminals();
                    while (true) {
                              for (CardTerminal terminal : terminals.list()) {
                                        System.out.println("Checking terminal: " + terminal.getName());
                                        System.out.println("Card present: " + (terminal.isCardPresent() ? "YES" : "NO"));
                              System.out.println("Waiting for changes...");
                              terminals.waitForChange();
