Java Development Kit

The Java Development Kit for Windows will enable you to assemble, debug, and run the Java applications you wrote. This software includes various programming tools, such as javac, jar, and the archiver, a feature that places related class libraries into just one JAR file.

The Java Development Kit for Windows, also known as JDK, will enable you to assemble, debug, and run the Java applications you wrote.  This software includes various programming tools, such as javac, jar, and the archiver, a feature that places class libraries that are related to just one JAR file. If you are an experienced Java developer, you will find this coding tool to be indispensable. 

Programming tools, which include javac, jar, and the archiver, which categorizes class libraries into just one JAR file, are the main features of this product. One can use this to manage JAR files, Javadoc (which generates documentation) JAR files (which creates documentation automatically by using source code comments), jdb to debug, a status tool called jps (this gives you process information for Java processes that are current), and java (this disassembles class files). These are just a few examples of programming tools that are included with this product. You can find all of these tools in JDK's subdirectory bin.

Will gather, debug and run your Java applications

Also included is a full Java Runtime Environment, otherwise known as a private runtime. This includes a Java Virtual Machine that consists of both libraries developers would find useful and all class libraries. Developer-related libraries include the IDL libraries and internationalization libraries.

Various development tools are also included. If you look to the bin/subdirectory, you can find both utilities and tools that assist you with your document programs that have been written in the programming language of JavaTM. The tools will assist you in creating and developing, executing, and debugging these documents.

To assist the developer in learning and utilizing the programming language of Java, the source code is provided. This is to be explicitly used for learning purposes. Platform-specific implementation code is not included. You can extract these files with any typical zip utility. The Jar utility can alternatively be used. This can be found in the JDK's bin/ directory: jar xvf src.zip. Implementation codes specific to the platform are not included.  You cannot use this to reconstruct the class libraries. 

JDK is continually being updated to fix bugs and improve upon the software. This is something that has been met with positive feedback. There are various fresh features and enhancements to function in the latest update. You can report bugs yourself on The JDK Bug Database web site. This enables you to find bug reports, submit bug reports of your own, and give feedback as to which fixes are most important to you personally.
