JRE (Java runtime environment) ; 자바 런타임 환경

흔히 "자바 런타임"이라고도 알려져 있는 JRE는 자바 응용프로그램 개발도구인 JDK의 일부이다. 

JRE는 자바 응용프로그램이 실행되는데 필요한 최소한의 요건을 제공하며, JVM과, 핵심적인 클래스들, 그리고 각종 지원 파일들로 구성된다.

The Java Runtime Environment (also called JRE) is a software framework developed by Oracle Corporation, which runs regardless of the computer architecture. It provides the Java virtual machine and a large library, which allows to run applications written in the Java programming language[1].

It is constituted by:

  • a Java virtual machine. The heart of the Java platform is the concept of a "virtual machine" that executes Java bytecode programs. This bytecode is the same no matter what hardware or operating system the program is running under.
  • its associated Java Class Library, which is the Standard library available to Java programs.
