== Java Runtime Environment page redirect to the section with the same name misleads the readers ==
 
A page [Java Runtime Environment] redirects to this article, to the section with the name "'''Java Runtime Environment'''". However, the section is not simple for a person who is not familiar with the matter already.
 
I propose to rewrite the section. I don't wish to remove all the details which are discussed there now. However, they seem to be extra to the sub-topic "'''Java Runtime Environment'''". I'd propose to replace (or precede) existing text with more general description, which is about all JREs, not only made by Oracle (as specified in existing section "Java Runtime Environment").
 
The proposed text:
 
=== Java Runtime Environment ===
A Java runtime environment (JRE) is a collection of software components used to run Java applications. It includes Java virtual machine (JVM), Java class libraries, and Java class loader.
 
The JRE is a part of the Java development kit (JDK), which is used for developing Java software. The JRE provides programming tools and deployment technologies, while the JVM executes Java programs.
 
The JRE acts as an intermediary between the Java program and the underlying operating system, allowing the program to access the resources of the OS and run on various platforms. [[User:Philip Torchinsky|Philip Torchinsky]] ([[User talk:Philip Torchinsky|talk]]) 18:40, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
