UICC, JavaCard API and some questions.
Hello all.
I am very sorry for possibly dumb questions -- I am very new for this things.
I have to develop an UICC application working with UICC's phonebook. Especially, I need to synchronize phonebook's data with a server.
The question for now is: if exists free SDK and environment where I can compile, run and debug UICC application? Also, I need a converter, which produces a .cap file from a .jar file, or any other instrument to prepare compiled sources for downloading the application onto a chip.
For now I use gemalto's demo version of Developer's Suite integrated into Eclipse, but may be it is possible to use free SDK and simulators for the application? I would try them before buying gemalto's DS.
Also I wonder, which packages I have to use to complete the task? Some examples use sim.toolkit.* packages and some use uicc.toolkit.* packages. What is the difference between them? I suppose for now, that sim.toolkit.* is an extension for uicc.toolkit.* and the latter is the base, but I'm not sure.
Also, could you recommend me a card reader to download the application onto a chip?
TIA, Mikae.
