I installed jdk1.5.0 in my computer from sun site .
what i noticed is first of all there are two folder :

1] jdk1.5.0
2] jre1.5.0

jdk 1.5.0 has some folders like bin , demo , include , jre , lib , sample & the very important is scr zip file that has all the source code of java classes . like that kre 1.5.0 also some folders .

my question is can anybody explain what is the folder structure of java , i mean to say is what things are in which folder & why so ??

expecting a good answer ,

Well, since this is all available on Sun's site in great detail, you're going to get a quick and dirty answer from me. Also, please note that as an American, your tone sounds demanding and impatient, but I freely admit this could easily be a difference of language. As you're posting a lot to these forums lately, you might find answers more forthcoming if you make your tone more friendly and humble. That's my two cents.

The JDK is the Java Deelopment Kit. It allows you to compile Java code and do other development tasks (work with JNI and RMI, debug, etc).

The JRE is the Java Runtime Environment. It allows you to run Java programs.

You can install the JRE by itself (useful for client machines that only need to run code), but the JDK includes the JRE for obvious reasons.

you will not receive any good answers from people if you continue to
antagonise them
