Release NotesDevelopment Kit for the Java CardTM Platform
|
The development kit tools for the Java CardTM platform
version 2.2.2 require the use of Apache Ant. However, Ant's use in the
tools is not apparent to users. See Development
Kit User's Guide for information on the tools and demos and on
installing Ant. Once you install Ant, Ant's use in
the development kit will not
be apparent because Ant is simply used by the development kit to run
the
tools and demos.
However, the Ant tasks in the Ant tasks bundle are not part of the development kit and their use is optional and unsupported. They are provided simply for Ant users who might find they make using the development kit tools more efficient. Therefore, the use of Ant as described in the Ant Tasks User's Guide is unsupported.
If you do not already have Apache Ant installed on your system,
download version 1.6.2 of Apache Ant from their web site at http://ant.apache.org.
Unzip the package into a directory other than the development kit's
directory. Add Apache
Ant's bin directory to
your system path. See the Development
Kit User's Guide or Ant Tasks
User's Guide for more information on Apache Ant installation and
setup.
The Ant tasks bundle unzips within the binary release
bundle at java_card_kit-2_2_2/ant-tasks.
When you unzip the Ant tasks bundle, the Ant tasks' JavaTM
Archive (JAR) file is extracted into the subdirectory java_card_kit-2_2_2/ant-tasks/lib/jctasks.jar.
The
user's guide for the Ant tasks is extracted into the subdirectory java_card_kit-2_2_2/ant-tasks/docs. For more
information, see Ant Tasks User's
Guide.
NOTE: The use of Ant is supported only for use with the
development kit. The use of Ant outside the development kit is not
supported. The Ant tasks have not been thoroughly tested.
Use of the Ant tasks within the development kit will not be apparent
as you use the tools and demos. However, for documentation on
the unsupported use of the Ant tasks outside the development kit, see
the Ant Tasks
User's Guide in the subdirectory ant-tasks/docs.
The Ant Tasks
User's Guide is provided in HTML and PDF formats. In addition,
the JavadocTM tool files for the Ant tasks
are in
the subdirectory java_card_kit-2_2_2/ant-tasks/docs/html/javadocs.
A compilation of the Javadoc tool files in PDF format is in
the subdirectory java_card_kit-2_2_2/ant-tasks/docs/pdf/ant-tasks-javadocs.pdf.
