Use of Java Card Development Kit

Im a student doing a dissertation on Java Smart Card for a conversion Masters in Computing. I have been using the Java Card 2.1.2 Development Kit and User's guide. However, could anyone comment on the extent to which the kit is used in industry.
Is it superseded by other development kits/IDEs? Is it incorporated into proprietary IDEs.
Any feedback would be much appreciated.

The kit is used extensively in the industry.
When you buy a vendor's kit, they extend the Sun APIs and implement the JCRE based on the specifications.
Also when you purchase a kit, you get additional implementation like crypto and Global Platform.
Don't worry about incorporating kits into any IDE's. The applet's are very small and you can use any editor for it. A GOOD vendor kit will allow off card debugging/simulation. Gemplu$ has an implementation for Cafe, and Metrowerks has a JC IDE.

Can I use Java Card Development Kit 2.2.1 on Windows XP?

Can I use Java Card Development Kit 2.2.1 on Windows XP?
If no, which kit supports XP?

It is not as strait forward as per say.
I would like to share some tips that I have learnt duirng my recent experience with Java Card Development Kit 2.1.2 ( It presumed that JAVA SDK and JCDK is properly installed:
Additonal installation
- you need to download Java Communicatons API version 2.o for Windows at http://java.sun.com/products/javacomm/downloads/index.html
- unzip the downloaded file javacom20-win20.zip
- copy comm.jar and javax.com.properties to %JAVA_HOME%\lib
- copy win32com.dll to %JAVA_HOME%\bin
Configuration of Environment
- Activate System under Control Panel
- Click Environment Variable button under Advance Tab.
- Check that JAVA_HOME and JC21_HOME are there under User Variables for user123
- Create a new enviroment by clicking New button under User Variables and Enter "CLASSPATH" for Variable Name and ".;c:\j2sdk1.4.1_04\lib\comm.jar for Variable Value ( the ".;" is important for the entry and varies according to your JAVA_HOME)
Modifying %JC21_HOME%\samples\build_samples.bat
- Next you need to modify the compiler option in build_samples.bat
- Use editor to look for the portion "Compile Sample" and add "- target 1.1" to every statements here. A sample is listed below:
%JAVA_HOME%\bin\javac -target 1.1 %JCFLAGS% src\com\sun\javacard\samples\HelloWorld\*.java
You may proceed to test the demo codes as instrucrted in the User Guide.
I hope the above will help those who are keen to have a head start in Java Card Developemnet.

Updated link to Java Card Development Kit and related documentation

Note that the right link for Java Card Development Kit and related documentation is
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javame/javacard/download/index.html
It used to be
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javacard/downloads/index.html
which is still on-line, but the links there are dead and sometime to obsolete stuff.

If you don't have those directories, obviously, you don't have the source release with cryptographic extensions. You have a different release.
The version you downloaded isn't a source release but you still have the full kit.
For the src release, contact $un for a license.

if I type "jcwde jcwde.app" at the demo directory, it tells me that, jcwde is not an intenal or batch file command. when I copied the jcwde.bat from bin directory to demo directory, it run but a lot of erros.
I will be glad if somebody can help to overcome this initial and very important steps in my adventure to smart card.
Thanks

Thanks everybody for their contribution and suggestion. I have been able to make the demo works apart from demo1 which still give problems.

ISO7816 for the Java Card Development Kit

I'm having problems compiling the sample applets for the Java Card Development Kit (2.1.2). I keep getting the error that anything related to ISO7816 is not recognized. Is there something else I need to have in order to run this?

Can I install Java Card Development Kit on Debian GNU\linux?

if that can be posible, how can do it?
Thanks. ;)

Please help,
I am new to Java.
I want to develop java programs.
I have Linux, (mandarake flavour) installed on my
computer.
I know that there are diffent linux flavors.
I have to the development kit download at:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/download.html
the page has downloads for
Windows (U.S. English only) N/A
Windows (all languages, including English)
Linux Red Hat shell script
Linux GNUZIP Tar shell script
SolarisTM SPARCTM 32-bit binary
Solaris Intel tar.Z N/A
Installation Instructions
Does this mean that I cannot use java development kit
for my Linux version?????
If I can I guess with the download it will tell me how
to do installation for Linux? (I know sometimes only
provide installation for Linux)The JDK has been rename J2SE (ie J2SE is the development kit).

I'm here to collect some information on tools used in Java Card development

Hi All,
Thank you for reading this message, I'm a technician from a software company. We are currently developing softwares based on java card technology. The complicated jcdk configurations and java settings are quite not easy to use. I'm coming here for asking a new set of tools which may help. Can any one give some suggestion?

Hi,
Are you looking for free or commercial tools? Are you developing for smart card or GSM/mobile?
Many of the big card vendors have a commercial tools for developing with their cards. Some are harder to get than others. If you have a specific card vendor in mind you can contact them directly to see what tools they can offer. If your company is planning on purchasing a large number of cards the vendors are usually pretty happy to help out where ever they can.
Another option is to develop a set of scripts or tools around the JCDK.
Cheers,
Shane

How to start java card development?

Good Evening all,
I am novice for java card development , from last some days I study java card and terms related to it, now i have some knowledge about applets , and API. as i read about java card 2 and 3, I think i moved to java card 2 that's why i download jcdk 2.1.
Now i want to do something in development rather than further conceptual study. Frankly speaking I m confused where to move because different sites have different point of view so i want to execute my knowledge which i earned from last some days...
so I want to ask
1- which IDE would be best for java card development? { eclipse or net beans or something other}
2- what things i would be require during java card application?{ java sdk version? jcdk version? ocf? or what}
3- at start i want to use simulation technique to test what i made and how its work, so for this which tool or IDE would be best work for me,
so kindly request you to guide me and show me the path where i can move and achieve what i want..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Thank you in advance------------------------------------------

Hello umer,
last night it seems very tough to execute sample program of jcdk 2.2 but finally i make it, and i also i got the IDE - net beans that is very good for java card...
I think i should share my knowledge here for next novice people...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------java card development require-------------------------------------------------------------
Because here we use java for java card so we require
1- java development kit (JDK) - use below link to get this.
[get jdk here|http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/6u30-b12/jdk-6u30-windows-i586.exe]
2- Java card require java card development kit (JCDK) I think java card version 3 is latest but i used jcdk 2.2.1
[get jcdk here|http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/java_card_kit/2.2_01/java_card_kit-2_2_01-win-gl.zip]
now i think this is enough to start java card development...
follow below steps
1- install jdk 6 in c:/java/jdk1.6
2-keep jcdk in c:/java_card_kit-2_2
3- open command prompt and run
a)-set JC_HOME=c:\java_card_kit-2_2
b)-set JAVA_HOME=c:\java/jdk1.6
c)-set PATH=%JC_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
4-there are some sample project in scdk, if you want to get confidence , u should run one of them..
run command- jcwde jcwde.app { jcwde is a simulator where u check what u made }
and run this command in another command prompt- apdutool -nobanner -noatr demo1.scr > demo1.scr.jcwde.out
You can get detail of 3 and 4 step from cJDK_Users_Guide.pdf which is present in jcdk.
------------------------this is all which u need to do to get confidence in java card, but dont be over confident because in reality "the ball is not in your court yet"
Note- if you are searching which java IDE is best for java card development then
[click here- this is one of the best ide for java card|http://dlc.sun.com.edgesuite.net/netbeans/7.1/final/bundles/netbeans-7.1-ml-windows.exe]

What Java compiler for Java Card development ?

What Java compiler and options should be used for Java Card development with the goal of generating correct, and (secondarily) small or/and fast code after conversion to Java Card bytecode using converter ?
In particular
- Is use of JDK 7 approved by Oracle for Java Card development? That would solve security problems associated with (the web components of the JRE of) some earlier JDK, including the latest JDK6. The JCDK 3.0.4 release notes states "+the commercial version of Java Development Kit (JDK software) version 6 Update 10 (JDK 6 Update 10) or later is required+, but that does not answer that question.
- Anyone had _bad_ experience (like incorrect or disastrous code) with the Java compiler bundled with Eclipse ? I have seen at least one case where org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.7.3.v20120119-1537.jar produced slightly more compact code than javac.
- Anyone had _bad_ experience with javac in jdk1.3 ? In an applet involving a "finally" clause, I've seen it generating more compact code than later javac (which in my test triplicated the code for the finally clause).

What Java compiler and options should be used for Java Card development with the goal of generating correct, and (secondarily) small or/and fast code after conversion to Java Card bytecode using converter ?-target -source may be required to generate compatible byte code. Depending on the CAP file converter being used debug information may also help. Remember that Java Card is a subset of the Java language (also there are short opcodes that Java doesn't have etc) so a lot of the work for optimisation is done by the converter or the JCRE. You can look at the JCA code generated to determine what works best for your applets. There are also some ways of stripping out dead code etc from JCA files (return statements after a throw etc) to reduce your code size. Most of the speed optimisations come from your code (avoiding context switches and unnecessary security/access checks).
The compactness of your Java Card binary may not be directly related to the size of your compiled Java code. It can depend on the converter you use and any optimisaitons the JCRE might try to do when the code is loaded.
- Is use of JDK 7 approved by Oracle for Java Card development? That would solve security problems associated with (the web components of the JRE of) some earlier JDK, including the latest JDK6. Java Card does not use any of the libraries from the JDK/JRE. All of the libraries are provided by the JCRE on the smartcard.
The JCDK 3.0.4 release notes states "+the commercial version of Java Development Kit (JDK software) version 6 Update 10 (JDK 6 Update 10) or later is required+, but that does not answer that question.Anything above JDK6u10 is supported. If you use Java 7 you may need to add a -source and -target flag when compiling.
- Anyone had _bad_ experience (like incorrect or disastrous code) with the Java compiler bundled with Eclipse ? I have seen at least one case where org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.7.3.v20120119-1537.jar produced slightly more compact code than javac.We generally use the Eclipse compiler as we find that we get more deterministic builds. When CAP files are sent for security review it is helpful to have the reviewer able to generate a CAP file that matches the one you sent to confirm the binary is what you say it is.
- Anyone had _bad_ experience with javac in jdk1.3 ? In an applet involving a "finally" clause, I've seen it generating more compact code than later javac (which in my test triplicated the code for the finally clause).We do not use anything less than Java 6 for compilation.

I would like to use Java version 6.

Hi John,
I sort of remember Java 6 being IntelMac only...
Once you’ve gotten logged in, go to Downloads, select “Java” on the right hand side of the page, and download the Java SE 6 beta. Note: this is only available for Intel Macs running Tiger or Leopard — if you’ve got a G4 or G5, you’re out of luck right now

But here they are...

Will weblogic 4.5 work with the Sun Java Servlet Development Kit Version 2.1?

          Will weblogic 4.5 work with the Sun Java Servlet Development Kit Version 2.1
          (JSDK 2.1). The reason I want this is we want our application servlets to
          use the new 2.1 redirection mechanism to redirect to JSP files.


WL 4.5 supports JSP 1.0 (and, therefore Servlet 2.1).
          What I want to know is when will it support JSP 1.1 (and, therefore Servlet
          2.2)!

Database used in java card?

what database is used in java card?Can we use Record management system or sqlite here?

hi,
apart from ISO7816-7 that defines SCQL, and the fact that very few card (if none?) support the concept of card database, I don't understand your question.
I don't think there is a useful or practical way to port sqlite in java language, in order to run in in a javacard.
And I don't know what "record management system" is.
record files are just a type of files with a fixed number of sized blocks. but this does not make it a database.
regards
sebastien
