Differences among JDK, JRE & JVM

The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is not a standalone program. The JVM is part of the Sun Java 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (JRE). Like a car needs an engine to run, the Sun JRE needs a virtual machine. You must download the entire JRE.

JDK includes JRE and other stand alone programs.
