== Java Software Developer Kit ==
The JRE includes only those components needed to run a Java application. The [[Java Developer Kit]], or JDK, also provides the tools needed to build applications. The [[JDK]] includes a complete runtime environment, usually called a ''private'' runtime, which contains all of the class libraries that will be present in the production environment. It also includes additional libraries that are only used by developers, such as the internationalization libraries and the [[IDL]] libraries. Finally, the JDK includes the utility programs that produce a complete application, such as:
* javac - The Java compiler, which converts source code into Java bytecode
