Server Java Runtime Environment (Server JRE). For deploying Java applications on servers. Includes tools for JVM monitoring and tools commonly required for server applications, but does not include browser integration (Java plug-in), auto-update, or an installer.

These downloads can be used for development, personal use, or to run Oracle licensed products. Use for otherpurposes, including production or commercial use, requires a Java SE Universal Subscription or another Oracle license.

There is a massive eco-system of Java libraries which make it a great tool for a large number of use cases,ranging from command-line and desktop applications, over web apps and backend web services, to datastores and stream processing platforms.With upcoming features like support for vectorized computations (SIMD),light-weight virtual threads,improved integration with native code,value objects and user-defined primitives, and others,Java is becoming an excellent tool for solving a larger number of software development tasks than ever before.

"A suite of programs that facilitate developing and running programs written in the Java programming language", with key elements being the Java compiler (javac), the Java virtual machine, and the Java standard class library.Focus of this post is the Java Standard Edition (SE), other platforms like Java Micro Edition (ME), and Jakarta Enterprise Edition (EE) are not discussed here.A large number of languages other than Java (the language) itself can run on Java SE (the platform), for instance Kotlin, Groovy, and Scala; they are also out of scope for this article, though

A virtual machine for executing Java programs (or more precisely, byte code), e.g. taking care of tasks like loading byte code and verifying its correctness, compiling it into platform-specific machine code using a just-in-time compiler (JIT), automated memory management via garbage collection, ensuring isolation between different components, providing runtime diagnostics, etc.; multiple JVM implementations exist, including HotSpot and OpenJ9

The Java platform is maintained by the OpenJDK open-source project.Similar to Linux, multiple vendors provide binary distributions for this project,including Amazon, the Eclipse Foundation, Microsoft, Oracle, or Red Hat.These distributions differ in aspects like availability of commercial support and duration of the same, supported platforms,extent of testing, certain features like available garbage collectors, potentially bug fixes, and others.So which one should you use?

A new version of Java is released every six months, with the current one at the time of writing this being Java 19.Specific releases are long-term support (LTS) releases, for which vendors provide maintenance for many years.The current LTS release is Java 17 and I recommend you to get started with this one.

Java source code is compiled into class files which then are loaded into the JVM and executed.Normally, this is done in two steps: first running the compiler javac, then executing the program using the java binary.For quick testing and exploring, both steps can be combined, so you can execute your "Hello World" program like this:

For exploring Java in a quick and iterative mode,it provides jshell, an interactive Read-Evaluate-Print Loop (REPL).You can use it for running expressions and statements without defining a surrounding method or class,simplifying "Hello World" quite a bit:

A lesser known yet super-useful companion to Maven is the Maven Daemon,which helps you to drastically speed up your builds by keeping a daemon process running in the background,avoiding the cost of repeatedly launching and initializing the build environment.You can install it via SDKMan by running sdk install mvnd.

Adding a dependency to an external library should always be a conscious decision,as you might easily run into version conflicts between transitive dependencies (i.e. dependencies of dependencies) in different versions,more dependencies increase the complexity of your application (for instance, you must keep them all up-to-date),they may increase the attack surface of your application, etc.Sometimes, you might be better off by implementing something yourself, or maybe copy a bit of code from a 3rd party library into your own codebase,provided the license of that library allows for that.

That said, some popular libraries you will encounter in many projects includeJUnit (for unit testing),slf4j (logging),Jackson (JSON handling),Hibernate (object-relational persistence, domain model validation, etc.),Testcontainers (integration testing with Docker), andArchUnit (enforcing software architecture rules).The "awesome-java" list is a great starting point for diving into the ecosystem of Java libraries.

Most open-source dependencies are available via the Maven Central repository;All the build tools integrate with it, not only Maven itself, but also Gradle and all the others.The MVN Repository site is a good starting point for finding dependencies and their latest versions.If you want to distribute libraries within your own organization, you can do so by self-running repository servers like Nexus or Artifactory, or use managed cloud services such as AWS CodeArtifact.

Most Java enterprise applications are built on top of an application framework which provides support for structuring your code via dependency injection,seamlessly integrates with a curated set of 3rd party libraries in compatible versions,helps with configuring and testing your application, and much more.

Both are widely popular, integrate with a wide range of technologies (e.g. web frameworks and databases of all kinds),come with excellent developer tooling, and are backed by very active open-source communities.

Sticking to the recommendation on using Eclipse Temurin as your Java distribution,I suggest to use the Temurin image as the base for your application images,e.g. eclipse-temurin:17 for Java 17.Just make sure to keep your image up to date,so you and your users benefit from updates to the base image.

The points above hopefully can help you to embark onto a successful journey with the Java platform,but they only are a starting point.Depending on your specific needs and requirements, here is a number possible next topics to explore and learn about:

Exploring the tools which come with the JDK, for instance javadoc (for generating API documentation), jcmd (for sending diagnostic commands to a running Java application), or jpackage (for packaging self-contained Java applications)

Setting up continuous integration (CI) workflows for automatically building and testing your application with GitHub Actions (the aforementioned Maven oss-quickstart archetype will generate a basic template for that automatically)

I tried to run "eclipse-jee-juno-win32-x86_64" , but it raised the following error " java runtime environment JRE or java development kit must be available in order to run eclipse. No java virtual machine was found after searching in the folloiwng location ........ ".

The other strange thing also that Eclipse used to run without any problems yesterday , but today i have downloaded the JDK 1.7.0_06 and i set the JAVA_HOME to be "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_06"so i don't know if the problem is related to this ???.

Check the eclipse.ini file and make sure there is no -vm option there that is pointing to a non existing java install now. You can delete the option to let Eclipse figure out what java install to use or change it so it's pointing to the new install.

This doesn't seem to be relevant in this case, but in case others face this problem --- make sure that if you installed 32 bit version of Eclipse, you also installed 32 bit version of JRE. Similarly, if you installed 64 bit version of Eclipse, you need 64 bit version of JRE in your Windows. Otherwise you will see the above error message as well.

I got the same error after a Java version update. I just edited the line after "-vm" in the eclipse.ini file, which was pointing to the older and no more existing jre path, and everything worked fine.
