The '''Java Runtime Environment''', or '''JRE''', is a [[software]] bundle from [[Sun Microsystems]] that allows a [[computer system]] to run a [[Java platform|Java application]]. Java applications are in widespread use and necessary to view many Internet pages. Normal computer users can download the current JRE version by testing their [[Java Virtual Machine]] at the Java.com [http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml test page].
{{R to section}}
The software bundle consists of the [[Java_Virtual_Machine|JVM]] and programming interface ([[API]]). The API provides a set of standard [[Java platform#Class libraries|class libraries]]. The virtual machine and API have to be consistent with each other and are therefore bundled together as the JRE. This can be considered a virtual computer in which the virtual machine is the processor and the API is the user interface.
