Let us see the difference between the JDK (Java Development Kit) and JRE (Java Runtime Environment) in Java.
JDK : Java Development Kit
1. JDK is used by the developers and it includes JRE.
2. It is essential to create java applications.
3. Java programmers or learners need to install JDK in their systems to compile and run codes or projects.
JRE: Java Runtime Environment
1. JRE is required to use the java applications run by the End-Users.
2. JRE is not enough to develop and run your java programs. You must use JDK.
