    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.

    What is the difference between JDK & SDK?

    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.

  • 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/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.

  • Difference between JDK , JRE J2EE

    Hi
    Would anybody just show the difference between JDK , JRE , J2EE , and J2RE
    Thanks alot

    JDK - Java SDK from Sun
    JRE - Java Runtime Environment
    J2EE - Java 2 Enterprise Edition
    Basically, JDK is J2SE, Java Standard Edition. You need this to develop and to compile standard Java software. JRE allows only execution without any special components. J2EE is extension to J2SE. It contains Business or Enterprise components like Java Beans.

  • What is the difference between JDK / JRE?

    Hi All,
    What is the difference between JDK / JRE. ?
    Is it enough if I installed JDK 5.0 Update 16 Only or Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 16 is also needed.
    I as in the assumption that JDK 5.0 Update 16 contains the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 16.
    Let me know the jdk which comes along with it jre.
    Thanks

    No, seriously: Of course JDK 5.0 Update 16 contains the JRE 5.0 Update 16.

  • 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.

  • What's the difference between Java SDK and the Enterprise Edition?

    What's the difference between Java SDK and the Enterprise Edition? Are they both free?

    both r free but they are used in diffrent applications. sdk are used for simple apps that run on your computer while j2e (enterprise edition) are ment for large distributed computer systems that include servers and such. if you don't know the diffrence you probably wont need the the j2e, only the sdk.

  • 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).
