What is the difference between JDK and JRE The "JDK" is the Java Development Kit. i.e., the JDK is bundle of software that you can use to develop Java based software. The "JRE" is the Java Runtime Environment. i.e., the JRE is an implementation of the Java Virtual Machine which actually executes Java programs. Typically, each JDK contains one (or more) JRE's along with the various development tools like the Java source compilers, bundling and deployment tools, debuggers, development libraries, etc. More info For more java related stuff visit Mukesh Ranjans site here Comments (0) Subscribe to this comment's feed Write comment You must be logged in to a comment.
