Java Runtime Environment (JRE)

In this tutorial you will learn about the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and its application with practical example.

Java Runtime Environment (JRE)

The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is a set of software packages used to provide a runtime environment for Java applications. It is a superset of JVM, that combines the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), platform core classes, and supporting libraries, that are necessary for running Java applications. JRE is part of the Java Development Kit (JDK) but can be downloaded separately.
