I read about there is an off card installation program which actually triggering the JRE installation in JAVA Card. I read it in https://books.google.co.in/books?id=4WDj4H6pT50C&pg=PA35&lpg=PA35&dq=java+card+runtime+environment+install&source=bl&ots=6lSi7Nvh4b&sig=uw3TiWe6Uvk0kl6nCRMlh3IeBnc&hl=en&sa=X&ei=2gLKVOe6NYOumAXz0IHoAg&ved=0CEgQ6AEwBg#v=onepage&q=java%20card%20runtime%20environment%20install&f=false

I did not find any other better source. Could anybody pls tell how exactly this happening? who is installing the off card installation program? Does the jdk in the terminal/computer contain this off-card installation program?

The JavaCard Virtual Machine (JCVM) and JavaCard Runtime Environment (JCRE) are runnning inside the javacard. It is part of the operating system. What you are installing using the off-card installation program is the JavaCard Application which is called by Applet.

After you can get the CAP file of your Applet, you can run the off-card installation program to download it into your javacard. The program is included in the JavaCard Development Kit which can be downloaded from Oracle site. Some programs that are more convenience to use than the kit are listed as follow:

  1. jcmanager, opensource, has been replaced by GlobalPlatformPro
  2. GlobalPlatformPro, opensource
  3. GPShell, opensource
  4. JCOP plugin for Eclipse from NXP (not free)
  5. Gemalto Developer Suite (not free)
