Software Environment

Java
Java is the most exciting programming language that has been released in a decade
because of the things it makes possible. Java seduced programmers with its friendly syntax,
object-oriented features, memory management unit and best of all-the promise portability. The
lure of write-once/run anywhere is just too strong. A devoted following exploded, as
programmer fought against bugs, limitations and the fact that it was slow. But that was ages ago
and now more powerful java is today.

Contents of the Java Development Kit

This section contains a general summary of the files and directories in the JDK.

Development Tools

( In the bin subdirectory.) Tools and utilities that will help you develop, execute, debug, and
document programs written in the Java programming language.

Runtime Environment

( In the jre subdirectory. ) An implementation of the J2SE runtime environment for use by the
JDK. The runtime environment includes a Java virtual machine, class libraries, and other files
that support the execution of programs written in the Java programming language.

Additional Libraries

( In the lib subdirectory. ) Additional class libraries and support files required by the
development tools.

Demo Applets and Applications

( In the demo subdirectory. ) Examples , with source code, of prorramming for the Java
platform.These include examples that use Swing and other Java Foundation Classes, and the Java
Platform Debugger Architecture.
