You need JDK to developer/compiler not the JRE.

Download and install the JDK.

If you come from a VB background, or know it, then the JRE is equivalent to
the massive VB runtime DLL and the JDK is equivalent (minus the graphical
tools etc. before someone takes offence) to the VB development/edit/compile
time environment.
