Hi, I'm working on another layer(addition) to PC/SC Lite that can be optionally compiled into the client library. Basically it is a JNI (Java Native Interface) stub that will allow Java Applications to communicate to PC/SC Lite. So now you will be able to optionally stack the following: [ IFD Handler ] [ PC/SC Lite Dynamic/Static Reader Driver ] [ RPC Communications library] [ Java Native Interface Layer] [Java Programs] [ Open Card Framework (OCF) ] Keep in mind that this is all optional so if you have an embedded application you can strip out all the stuff you don't need to keep the library small just by setting a variable in the Makefile. This is the first step in allowing OCF which is a multi-application card abstraction middleware to communicate to pcsc-lite and utilize the readers within it. I'm talking with the guys from Sun and OCF to get source code for OCF so I can put this shim layer into place. I will release this JNI interface with package pcsc-lite-0.5.0 later on this week. Otherwise there will be really little changes to pcsc-lite on the 0.5.0 release. I will be making some Makfile changes from University of Michigan to better support BSD users but the pcsc-lite daemon seems to be pretty stable for now.
