Together, these three downloads provide a complete, stand-alone development environment in which applications written for the Java Card platform can be developed and tested.
This User Guide is dedicated to the Java Card Development Kit Tools bundle. The Java Card Development Kit Simulator and Java Card Development Kit Eclipse Plug-in bundles have their own dedicated User Guide.
