Java 6 is 64-bit only, so any use of javax.smartcardio fails because the PCSC framework doesn't have a 64-bit version. See this message from java-dev:

Likely there's one or more tickets in bugreport on this, but I felt it should be noted here.

Mac OS X 10.6 ships with 64-bit Smart Card Services along with the noted Java 6 which too is 64-bit. This is no longer a problem if running on Mac OS X 10.6.x. All of the source for Smart Card Services which shipped in Mac OS X 10.6.0 is now posted in /release/Apple/Mac OS X 10.6/.

This will not be fixed on a subsequent Mac OS X 10.5.x build, since none of the related services were developed as 64-bit clean.

Closing this out against 10.5.x.
