Java application runtime
Java is by far the most prevalent programming language used for creating applications, while Sun Microsystem’s Java Runtime Environment offers you access to any applications written using this programming language. It enables users to run and utilize all applications written using this programming language.
Its components consist of:
- Java Virtual Machine – virtual machine.
- library classes of the Java programming language.
Java is known for being agile and quick, making it the go-to language in web pages today. To avoid confusion between it and its more similar cousin JavaScript – which runs independently through your browser – note that in both cases the Java Runtime Environment must first be installed first.
Cross-platform is yet another advantage of Java language applications created with it, enabling their usage on various operating systems where Java Runtime Environment exists.
Before installing the latest version of Java SE Runtime Environment, it is advisable to uninstall its predecessor before connecting its replacement.
