Java has been developed for years as a technology for the development of applications that can be accessed from the web and Java offers the developer different options and usage characteristics.
Java integrates with plugins such as:
- Java Runtime Environment (JRE) which is added when installing Java in the default operating system
- JRE which is integrated with Java Virtual Machine (JVM), contains different classes from the core of the Java platform as well as the platform libraries
- JRE which is a component that acts on the Java software runtime for use on the network
The essential components as such are JRE which is a set of software applications for the implementation of Java applications and JDK which is a development environment for the construction and compilation of Java applications. This is why TechnoWikis will explain how to install these two components in Arch Linux step by step..
