Requirement For Running Java Programs

[James]

Hi all,

Just wondering if I need java sdk as well to run java programs?

Cheers!

Nope, just a runtime (a.k.a JRE - Java Runtime Environment).

An SDK is usually only required if you want to do development.

No, all you need is the JRE. The SDK is only needed for development.

The short answer is no. The long answer is it depends. If the
particular application is a J2EE web container, then you will need a JDK
as well.
