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.

    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.

    A JDK is a set of tools for Java development including compiler, runtime system and standard libraries. J2EE is the enterprise version of the Java technology platform (it's one of three). To use it you download the proper JDK's.

  • 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.

    It's an extremely important skill to learn how to search the web. Not only will it increase your research and development talents, it will also save you from asking questions that have already been answered numerous times before. By doing a little research before you ask a question, you'll show that you're willing to work and learn without needing to have your hand held the entire time; a quality that is seemingly rare but much appreciated by the volunteers who are willing to help you.
    If you've done the research, found nothing useful, and decide to post your question, it's a great idea to tell us that you've already searched (and what methodologies you used to do your research). That way, we don't refer you back to something you've already seen.

  • Whatz the difference between jdk and jre

    i would like to know the difference between jdk and jre.

    Yes JRE is Java Run Time Environment. The java programming language adds the portability by converting the source code to byte code version which can be interpreted by the JRE and gets converted to the platform specific executable ones. Thus for different platforms one has corresponding implementation of JRE. But JRE has to meet the specification JVM (Java Virtual Machine) Concept that serves as a link between the Java libraries and the platform specific implementation of JRE. Thus JVM helps in the abstraction of inner implementation from the programmers who make use of libraries for their programmes.
    The JDK(Java Developmental Tool kit) comes along with java libraries and JVM embedded in it. Apart from these it comes along with the utility tools for byte code compilation "javac", Executing the byte codes through java programmes through "java" and many more utilities found in the binary directory of java. Speaking practically JDK is essential for developers, which comes along with library packages to develop Software programmes. While JRE is minimal set of programmes which executes the java class files developed by the software developers.

  • Difference between jdk and jre...

    Hi, I installed java (jdk1.6.0_03) and i got 2 folders in my pc with names jre1.6.0_03 and jdk1.6.0_03.
    I don't know what are those. And while installing Tomcat5.0 it take the default path for jre1.6.0_03 and worked properly.
    pls help me .......

    JRE = Java Runtime Environment.
    It's basically the implementation for your PC of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) which is the software emulated processor that Java code runs on.
    JDK = Java Development Kit
    It's the JRE plus the compiler tools to allow you to write code.
    Old versions of Tomcat needed the JDK because JSPs get converted into Java Servlet source code which is compiled into class files and run on the JVM. Newer versions of Tomcat only need the JRE because Tomcat now has its own compiler (implemented in Java) built in.
    So since Tomcat's working, I don't think you have much to worry about :-)

  • Difference between JDK and JavaSE

    Can anyone briefly explain the terminologies JDK, JavaSE and JRE.
    Also, please provide any nice links if you have.
    Thanks in advance
    Anees

    Java SE is just the general term for the [Standard Edition of Java|http://java.sun.com/javase/] . That is, it's for general development and not specialized for Enterprises or Mobile platforms, etc.
    The JDK is the [Java Development Kit|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Development_Kit] , that allows developers to create Java programs. Most end-users don't ever use/ have any knowledge of the JDK. There's a JDK for all versions of Java, no just JavaSE.
    The JRE is the [Java Runtime Environment|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Virtual_Machine] (A.K.A. JVM), designed just for running programs written in Java. It doesn't include the development tools like the compiler, to save space and because you don't need these tools just to run a program.
    Hope that helps.

  • Difference between JDK/JRE

    Guys,
    I need to know the difference between JDK and JRE? When should one use JDK and when one should use JRE. What is the advantages/disadvantages of using one over other.
    Cheers,

    Shutt up guys... one person is to know some thing about JDK/JRE, and you.....
    Any way
    Hi tnischal!
    Your question was about JDK/JRE
    JDK = Java Development Kit
    JRE = Java Runtime Environment
    JRE is a comolete Setup of J2sdk1.4.1(LatestVersion of JDK(1.4.1) with other requirements to use this version included JDK1.4.1,JavaWebStart,SunJVM,Java2PlatForm, and all other needs for it.
    while JDK is only the Software Development Kit. Previous versions of JDK than V1.4.1 did not need the all Runtime Environment for JDK, You just copy the JDK Folder in your machine and use it
    But you can't use JDK1.4.1(fully) without other requirements of use it.
    Hope you got the difference now.

  • What is the difference between jdk version 1.3.1-b24 and 1.3.1_02-b02?

    Hi,
    This is a weird question. But I really need to know the difference between jdk vesion 1.3.1-b24 and 1.3.1_02-b02.
    Anyone has a clue?
    Thanks

    This is a weird question. But I really need to know
    the difference between jdk vesion 1.3.1-b24 and
    1.3.1_02-b02.Bug fixes only.
    When reading the strings above, ignore the part saying "-b##" (that's the build number). So you're looking at 1.3.1 (the base release), and 1.3.1_02 (patch 02 on 1.3.1).

    i am confused - - does jdk come combined with
    netbeans ?JDK is Java Development Kit. It includes all the Java APIs and Java tools like compiler etc so that you can develop code in Java language.
    NetBeans is an IDE (Integrated Development Environment). It provides you tools for helping you write Java code, like it provides you a text editor where you can type your java code etc. You can use any other IDE like Eclipse JCreator etc for writing java code.
    NetBeans should come packaged with a JDK. NetBeans requires JDK to function but JDK does not require NetBeans to function.
    Personally, if you are so new to the language then I would recommend that you stay away from NetBeans or any other other heavy IDE for a while and code in something like WordPad or some of the other editors recommended in this thread. This will help you learn the language better. You can latter decide on an IDE when you are comfortable with the language.
