What is the Java Card development cycle?

The development cycle of a Java Card applet goes like this:

• Write the Java source;
• Compile it using your favorite Java compiler;
• Convert the resulting class files into a unique CAP file;
• Verify that the CAP file is valid;
• Load the CAP file either on an actual card or in a software simulator;
• Instantiate the applet;
• Select the applet and send commands to it.
