Verify the Java Card Platform is Set Up

Before You Begin

If the Services window is not displayed in the IDE, choose Window > Services from the main window to activate it.

  1. Click the Services tab at the far left of the main IDE window and confirm the Java Card Runtimes node is displayed.
  2. Open the Java Card Runtimes node and verify that it contains a Java Card 3 platform node.
  3. Open the Java Card 3 platform node and verify that it contains a Default Device node.
  4. Right click the Java Card platform node and choose Properties.
  5. Verify that the default values are correct for your application.

    If the properties for the platform are not correct for your application (such as using different versions of the Java Card specification or reference implementation) you can either add a Java Card platform that has the correct properties for running your application or (if you are a Java Card technology licensee and have access to the source files for the Java Card reference implementation) you can create a custom Java Card platform for your application.

    See the appropriate Java Card 3 platform specifications and documentation on the Java Card 3 Kenai project site for information about the JAva Card 3 platform. See Add a Java Card Platform and Customizing a Java Card Platform for the p[rocedures used in this IDE to add a platform or to create a custom Java Card platform.

  6. Right click the device node and choose Properties.
  7. Verify that the default values are correct for your application.

    If the properties for the device are not correct for your application (such as using different port values or requiring larger memory settings) you can either modify the existing device or add a new custom device to the Java Card platform for your application. See Add a New Device and Customizing the Device Node.
