Re: [Trustedjava-support] Loading jTSSWrapper into an IDE ?

The jTpmTools are designed as a set of command line tools not as a 
library to be used as part of an application.
If you develop a TC application I'd suggest to use the jTssWrapper on 
its own.

1) You need a TrouSerS TSS that is correctly set up.
2) The libtspiwrapper.so shared library. This lib contains the JNI glue 
code to interface the TSPI API of TrouSerS. This file has to be placed 
in your library path.
3) iaik_jtss_wrapper.jar and internal_jtss_wrapper.jar have to be linked 
to your Java project in NetBeans (however this is done there).

As I said previously, the jTpmTools are intended to be used as command 
line utilities. If you want to use the as a "library" you have to do 
steps 1 to 3 from above and additionally add iaik_jtpmtools.jar to your 
NetBeans dependencies.
