JavaCard Template project with Gradle

Build Status

This is simple JavaCard project template using Gradle build system.

You can develop your JavaCard applets and build cap files with the Gradle! Moreover the project template enables you to test the applet with JCardSim or on the physical cards.

Gradle project contains one module:

  • applet: contains the javacard applet. Can be used both for testing and building CAP

Features:

  • Gradle build (CLI / IntelliJ Idea)
  • Build CAP for applets
  • Test applet code in JCardSim / physical cards
  • IntelliJ Idea: Coverage
  • Travis support

Template

The template contains simple Hello World applet generating random bytes on any APDU message received. There is also implemented very simple test that sends static APDU command to this applet - in JCardSim.

The Gradle project can be opened and run in the IntelliJ Idea.

Running in IntelliJ Idea gives you a nice benefit: Coverage!

How to use

  • Clone this template repository:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/ph4r05/javacard-gradle-template.git
  • Implement your applet in the applet module.

  • Run Gradle wrapper ./gradlew on Unix-like system or ./gradlew.bat on Windows to build the project for the first time (Gradle will be downloaded if not installed).

Building cap

  • Setup your Applet ID (AID) in the ./applet/build.gradle.

  • Run the buildJavaCard task:

./gradlew buildJavaCard  --info --rerun-tasks

Generates a new cap file ./applet/out/cap/applet.cap

Note: --rerun-tasks is to force re-run the task even though the cached input/output seems to be up to date.

Typical output:

Running tests

./gradlew test --info --rerun-tasks

Output:

Big kudos for a great work!

JavaCard support

Thanks to Martin Paljak's ant-javacard and oracle_javacard_sdks we support:

  • JavaCard 2.1.2
  • JavaCard 2.2.1
  • JavaCard 2.2.2
  • JavaCard 3.0.3
  • JavaCard 3.0.4
  • JavaCard 3.0.5u1

Coverage

This is a nice benefit of the IntelliJ Idea - gives you coverage results out of the box.

You can see the test coverage on your applet code.

  • Go to Gradle plugin in IntelliJ Idea
  • Tasks -> verification -> test
  • Right click - run with coverage.

Troubleshooting

If you experience the following error:

java.lang.VerifyError: Expecting a stackmap frame at branch target 19
    Exception Details:
      Location:
        javacard/framework/APDU.<init>(Z)V @11: ifeq
      Reason:
        Expected stackmap frame at this location.

Then try running JVM with -noverify option.

In the IntelliJ Idea this can be configured in the top tool bar with run configurations combo box -> click -> Edit Configurations -> VM Options.

However, the com.klinec:jcardsim:3.0.5.9 should not need the -noverify.

Roadmap

TODOs for this project:

  • Polish Gradle build scripts
  • Add basic libraries as maven dependency.
