What Is Java Runtime Environment (JRE)?

The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is a set of software tools for development of Java applications. It combines the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), platform core classes and supporting libraries.

JRE is part of the Java Development Kit (JDK), but can be downloaded separately. JRE was originally developed by Sun Microsystems Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oracle Corporation. 

Java Runtime Environment (JRE) doesn’t contain any development tools like java compiler, debugger etc. You must install JRE on your machine before execute any java program.
