It means that the card terminal code does not need any native code
itself. It uses the Java Comm API. Java Comm needs native code of course,
so nothing is "pure java" really but it's a lot better than having native
code for every terminal reader.
However, USB readers cannot work like this as the Java USB API is not yet
finalized as far as I can remember, and there are no Java USB terminal
implementations we have seen.
Most non-serial/parallel readers will use the PC/SC wrapper
(reference-terminals-windows.jar) which is not "pure java" because it has
a DLL that it uses to talk to Windows SmartCard API.
Cheers
