*Java Development Kit* is the *official development kit for the Java
programming language*. Programming in any computer language simply requires a
text editor and knowledge of syntax, as well as a clear idea of what is
you're trying to create. You then need a compiler to run as an interpreter to
translate your code into something understandable. Java is one of the most
popular coding languages out there, and Java Development Kit (or *JDK*) is
its official development package. Currently, Java Development Kit is also one
of the most popular development environments in which to code Java. It
includes graphical IDE (like Eclipse), which requires separate installation.
In addition to the Java Virtual Machine that is essential to perform certain
Java-based program types, Java Development Kit has a wide range of tools such
as javac, the Java bytecode compiler, javap, disassembler class, and jdb,
which is a debugger. You'll find them in Java Development Kit's subdirectory
bin. Unfortunately, if you have very little or no previous experience coding
in Java, Java Development Kit is incredibly complicated to learn without aid.
Coding novices might find this kit a bit over their heads, although there are
some demos and example codes provided within the kit itself. *If you're a
seasoned Java programmer, Java Development Kit is an absolutely essential
coding tool. *Download *Java Development Kit (JDK) 7u1* in Softonic
