Difference betweeb JRockit JDK and SDK?

Can somebody enlighten me the diff. above.
Can the SDK be used together with the JBuilder SDK or Netbeans SDK?
Thanks
Francis

Hi Francis,
There is no difference between JDK and SDK in this context. SDK was used by Sun up to and including Java 1.4.2 to denominate the package consisting of the Java runtime (i.e. the JVM and the native libraries) and the developer tools (javac etc). They later switched to using JDK instead. JRockit follows the same convention.
JRockit should work fine with any Java application, including IDEs like JBuilder or Netbeans. In the unlikely event that you run into problems, please contact us through the JRockit user forums here:

    what are the differences between jdk and sdk?? thanks

    Just marketing whims.
    SDK = software development kit
    JDK = Java development kti
    Sun has use both names to refer to its SDK for Java. I forget which one they're using now, but they've switched a couple of times.

  • JDK and SDK

    Greetings!
    im new...
    What's the difference between the two(jdk and sdk)?
    I remember downloading JDK(and JCreator[editor]) only(no J2SE or watsoever) to create simple programs. Well, I managed to create HelloWorld and all but does this mean I dont need j2se or j2ee to create programs?
    Also are JDKs and SDKs inside J2SE, J2EE ... bundle?
    pardon me, but im just really 'new to java technology' :D

    J2ME - a subset of J2SE for "mobile devices", this comes in different "profiles", which build on the basic subset to add mobile-type extras (for example: a Graphics toolkit for small LCD-based screens).
    J2SE - "Standard Edition", the basic, primarly "desktop" aimmed edition. Learn first
    S2EE - Enterprise Edition, builds on J2SE to add "Enterprise" (server) extras (for example: web servery stuff)
    JVM - The Java Virtual Machine, a sort of "emulator" for Java programs
    JRE - Java Runtime Envroment
    JDK - Java Development Kit
    SDK - Software Developement Kit

  • Confused between JDK and SDK

    Hello, everyone,
    I am really confused about JDK and SDK. I have tried to find something online which can make it clear. But unfortunately, I am still confused on their relationship? It seems that they are the same thing?
    Thank you for any help.

    Hi there,
    If I'm not mistaken, JDK no longer exists.It used to be the same thing as JSDK nowadays. It's just a matter of names, and shouldn't worry you.
    See you !

  • What's the difference btw JDK and SDK?

    I went to the download page,some of the download are for J2SE Development Kit (JDK) ,some others are J2SE Software Development
    Kit (SDK)?Are there any difference btw them?

    Sun changed the label from SDK to JDK when Java 5 was
    released.There was at least one earlier change, I believe, so it seems it was JDK, then became SDK (or J2SDK) and now back to JDK.
    In the context of Java, if you're not a purist about matching a particular acronym with a particular version, then the two are interchangeable.

  • Difference between, jre, jdk, sdk and j2se

    Dear Sir/Madam,
    I want to do some java and j2ee development and run these applications in a java application server environment. Can anyone give me some advices on what should i need to download? Moreover, what is the difference between, jre, jdk, sdk and j2se? Should i need to download all of jre, jdk, sdk and j2se?
    thanks and regards,
    david

    JRE is the 'java runtime environment'. It is responsible for creating a Java Virtual Machine to execute Java class files (e.g., run Java programs)
    JDK is the 'java development kit'. It is the same as the 'SDK' (at least in my mind). It normally comes bundled with a JRE and also allows you to compile Java source files into Java class files. The JDK allows you to both write and run programs.
    J2SE is "Java 2 Standard Edition". It can refer to either a JDK or JRE. This is 'core' Java. There is also J2EE "Java 2 Enterprise Edition" which allows you to write middleware or server code more easily.
    Your final choice will be which version. If you want the current, most common implementation:
    J2SE 1.4.2, J2EE 1.3
    If you want to skip ahead to the next generation, the latest releases would be:
    J2SE 1.5 (also called J2SE 5.0) and J2EE 1.4

  • What are the differences between api and sdk

    Hi,
    Could anybody clarify for me what are the difference between API and SDK? I googled for the answer, and couldn't find any thing on this topic.
    Many thanks in advance.
    javasfan

    Is it correct to say that "a SDK includes all the
    APIs"? or "API sits on top of the SDK"?It's a bit weird to say either. First, the JDK doesn't include all APIs. Just the J2SE core API. Others, like 3rd party libraries or J2EE are not included. Second, if you mean the API docs, they're also not included IIRC.
    It'd technically only be correct to say "the SDK provides an API", I guess. The example is very lame, but: if the SDK is a machine, the API is the sum of its buttons and levers and gauges and intakes and outlets and exhausts. The API docs are the manual.

  • What is the difference between jdk and jsdk

    I don't know the difference between jdk and jsdk,if i had set up the jdk,could i develope the servlet.

    For servlets you need J2EE classes, which are in what is usually called JSDK (Java Server Development Kit). So, you cannot compile servlets with just the JDK installed, you need to download the J2EE SDK.

  • Whats is difference between Java JRE  and  Java SDK

    Hi,
    what is the difference between Java JRE and Java SDK...
    i think both of them have the same set of files to be installed...
    I am not able to understand where they differ

    The JRE (Java runtime Environment) contains just the stuff necessary to run Java and the SDK (System Development Kit) contains the extra stuff necessary (and also helpful) to develop in Java.

    difference between SUN JDK V1.4.2_05 and JDK V1.4.2_07 and I want to the link in SUN for that. I want to know the bug fixes between them.

    Perhaps you should look at the documentation which comes with JDK 1.4.2_08.
    It has the bugs fixed listed.

    thanks

    Hi,
    JDK- Java Development Kit contains compiler and other appliction development tools. with this tool you can compile as well as run your application
    JRE-Java runtime Environment where Java applications are exceuted .You can only run your application here but you cant develop and compile.
    JVM-Java Virtual Machine Its interpretor which interprets and then executes you coded after it is compile ( to byte code) by Java Compiler.

  • J2SE download page: JRE and SDK differences

    when we go to the J2SE download page: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/download.html#docs, we will see JRE and SDK column. What are the differences??
    My guess is:
    JRE just download the java runtime environment, without downloading the java compiler. JRE means the JVM here?
    SDK downloads everything, including the compiler and run time environment.

  • Difference between JDK and J2SDK ?

    Hi
    I am a novoice in Java. Please tell me the diff between JDK AND J2SDK ?

    Hi
    I am a novoice in Java. Please tell me the diff
    between JDK AND J2SDK ?They are about the same. Sun likes to change the name
    from time to time. The SDK might contain Netbeans as
    well.
    KajActually, they are exactly the same. You can download a bundle that contains the JDK and Netbeans, but I wouldn't consider Netbeans to be part of the JDK.
    Sun has been pretty bad about naming things for years. While they are not exactly the same thing, SunOS 5.8, Solaris 2.8, and Solaris 8 all basically mean the same thing.
    The J2SDK/JDK distinction is just one of those lingo things that you pick up on at some point.
