    what are the differences between jdk and sdk?? thanks

    Just marketing whims.
    SDK = software development kit

    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.

  • 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.

    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.

    can anybody explain the differences between jdk and jvm. and relation between jdk, jre and jvm.
    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.

    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 jre

    what is the difference between jdk and jre
    plzz tell me in detail

    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.
    To get you started, here is an excellent resource: The Java� Glossary

  • 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 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.

  • 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 !

    Hi All,
    I have simple query what is the exact difference
    between SDK ad JDK.
    Thanks,
    AlokThere is actually no difference. Two different names
    referring to the same thing.
    You may want to look at this:

    well, there are many SDKs for things other than Java, so the definition of J(s)DK is a subdefinition of SDK :)

  • Stupid Question: ... difference between JRE and SDK ?

    Beginers Question,
    Please describe what is Sun Java JRE and SDK.

    The JRE is the Java Runtime Environment, and is what is needed to run Java programs. It includes the JVM and the standard libraries.
    The SDK is the Software Development Kit, and is what is needed to develop Java programs. It includes the JRE and developer tools such as the compiler.

  • 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 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 :-)
