Cost effective way to start java card development

Question

What’s the most cost effective way to start Java card development?

I’ve spoken to several individuals and they have recommended purchasing the following SDK: https://www.taisys.com/p-detail?id=df8bIvFE5tKyOuGwfx4-MUHPKc8kbAnlcMBg-sR-6Q. However it seems quite expensive for a hobbyist like myself. Therefore I just wanted to ask where would be the best place to:

Purchase the hardware required to set up a testing environment. This would include a 1) card reader 2) blank SIM cards, ideally NFC enabled 3) a suitable set of feature phones to test applications
How would I go about setting up the software development environment on my desktop?
