More details on the relations between JavaCard and OCF in the
general FAQ at the "Positioning of OCF versus JavaCard" section:

http://www.opencard.org/misc/OCF-FAQ.shtml#JavaCard

I would just want to add that since OCF 1.2, support has been
added to select and communicate with card applets or applications
(support which can be used by JavaCard, EMV, or Multos cards), and
also to manage multi-applicative cards: adding/removing an applet,
list applets, etc. (which can be used by all ISO7816-5 compliant
cards, such as JavaCards and Multos).

These APIs for the time being are only abstract (no implementation
is provided, except for the standard (7816-5) way of selecting),
and JavaCard anyway does not specify *how* to manage applets on a card,
but it would be nice to have a basic implementation of OP (or VOP?)
management added Open Source to the framework. Any volunteers ?

Cheers,
Christophe.
