Why does the JDK come with a JRE and JDK?

I was wondering why when I download the JDK does it install a JRE and JDK. The JDK (I believe) includes all the JRE files as well as the compiler files. I can just as easily get rid of the JRE and as far as I know it wouldn't make a difference so why both?

I thought it was a 2-for-1 deal ;-)
Seriously, it doesn't make sense for me either. What
would make more sense
is for the JDK installation to install that separate
JRE, but to use that JRE instead of
installing a second one inside its folders.That would make much more sense, but I am guessing there is some intracacies that I'm not aware of or speed reason or something of the sort that would explain this. The first thing that comes to mind is knowing people might be copying the jre, someone might accidentally pull the jre out so they still wanted the sdk to work with the built in one. This is a pretty big stretch i know but there must be a reason somewhere.

  • Does the iPad come with a built-in dictionary?

    Does the iPad come with a built-in dictionary? I sure can't find it! I like the built-in dictionary on my iMac. Why does not the iPad have one?

    So, the iMac dictionary also give us translation, because we have activated a second language in System Preferences...there is apparently no way to get this function with built in Apple apps on the iPad, I assume, from your reply...
    Thank you!

  • Probably a stupid question . . . does the iPad come with iTunes preinstalled?

    I'm in need ot a portable way to listen to podcasts and type some notes. Due to low vision I cannot use an ipod or iphone.  I have an imac at home.  Does the ipad come with itunes preinstalled, or would I haave to buy it separately.  I know I'd have to purchase another copy if pages, which I have on my imac.

    Yes - but the iTunes that comes installed on the iPad is the iTunes Store where you purchase your media. The iPad comes with a preinstalled iPod App and that is where your music library resides and plays on the iPad - not in iTunes.
    You don't have to buy either apps for the iPad.

    Does the iH5 come with a wireless remote?

    So I am planning on buying the new version of the iHome and I have looked on websites such as bestbuy, target, costco, and walmart to try to get a feel of what the iHome is like and look at all the negatives and positives of it. On all the websites it says that it does not include a remote but yet other people say that it does. Can someone fill me in on if it does or doesn't come with a remote??

  • Hiya there does the ipad come with wifi free wifi

    Hi there does the ipad come with free wifi

    It has a wifi adpater, which means it can connect to a Wifi network.
    Wether the network is free or not depends on the owner.
    If you have wifi at home, then there will be no extra cost besides what you already pay for your internet.
    Wifi in other places such as Airports or Hotels may have cost depending on the place.  Usually coffee shops offer free Wifi you can use while you are in their premises.
