Netbeans 8.0 - error: export file globalplatform.exp of package org.globalplatform not found. [ INFO: ] Converter [v3.0.2]

Question

I am using Netbeans IDE 8.0 and writing java code with the option classic Applet Project. Here all goes well till using the below import

package wallet;

import javacard.framework.*;
import javacard.framework.ISO7816;
import javacard.framework.Applet;
import javacard.framework.OwnerPIN;

but I wanted to use the global platform function so I download the JAR ( gpapi-globalplatform.jar) file from HERE and add like below,

adding new imports like below

import org.globalplatform.GPSystem;
import org.globalplatform.SecureChannel;

no error shown in IDE but during the building of code, getting the error below. Any advice here would be great.

error: export file globalplatform.exp of package org.globalplatform not found. [ INFO: ] Converter [v3.0.2]

Answer 1

Your found file is fine. There is a file globalplatform.exp contained in the file. You have to add the path to this file to the class path when using the Java Card converter.

Here is a configuration for Maven:

     <plugin>
                        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

Set the placeholders and properties as necessary.

There might be a newer version on the GlobalPlatform Specification Page. Under the section "GlobalPlatform Card API" you should find a zip file with the latest export definitions. But this should not matter.
