Java Development Kit

Software Development and Engineering Practices

The Java Development Kit (JDK) is a software development environment used by programmers to build and run Java applications, containing the compiler (javac), runtime environment, standard libraries, and other development tools. It's distributed by Oracle and via open-source alternatives like OpenJDK, and is a prerequisite for anyone writing, compiling, or debugging Java code. Different JDK versions (e.g., Java 8, 11, 17, 21) introduce new language features and performance improvements.
