Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) lets you develop and deploy Java applications on desktops and servers, as well as in today's demanding embedded environments. Java offers the rich user interface, performance, versatility, portability, and security that today's applicationsrequire.

Java Development Kit is a development environment for building applications, applets, and components using the Java programming language. The JDK includes tools useful for developing and testing programs written in the Java programming language and running on the Java platform.

The Java Development Kit is the official development kit for the Java programming language. The Java Development Kit contains the software and tools needed to compile, debug, and run small programs and applications written in the Java programming language.

JDK has a set of programming tools, including javac, jar, and archiver, which package related class libraries into a single JAR file. This tool also helps to manage JAR files, javadoc-document generator, automatic generation of documents from source code comments, jdb-debugger, jps-process status tools, display process information of the current Java process, javap-class file disassembler, Other components are also included.

Key Contents:

Tools and utilities that will help you develop, execute, debug, and document programs written in the JavaTM programming language.

An implementation of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for use by the JDK. The JRE includes a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), class libraries, and other files that support the execution of programs written in the Java programming language.

Additional class libraries and support files required by the development tools.

Examples, with source code, of programming for the Javaplatform. These include examples that use Swing and other Java Foundation Classes, and the Java Platform Debugger Architecture.

Samples, with source code, of programming for certain Java API's.
