Best Answer

The JVM is part of the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) or the JDK (Java Developer Kit).

Both the JDK and JRE are packages available from a variety of sources. The most common one is available from Sun (now Oracle). You simply visit the web site, and it will then download and install the JRE for you after you answer a couple of questions:

Is JVM available on every machine?

Yes - In every machine that has the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed, the JVM will be available.


Can you have more than one jvm?

Yes you can. PS: Each JRE version would have a different JVM. If you have multiple JRE versions in your machine then you would have multiple JVMs


Is Jvm in the system?

The JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is a part of the JRE (Java Runtime Environment).The JRE is comprised of the JVM and the Class Library.The JVM takes the java language and compiles it into Bytecode which can then be interpreted as machine code by the platform(OS). The JVM will compile byte code specific to the OS it is being deployed upon. The JVM allows the Java language to be platform independent.


What is ther role of jre in java?

JRE stands for Java Runtime Environment. JRE is the runtime set up that is required by the JVM to execute java programs. The JRE and JVM (Java Virtual Machine) come packaged along with the Java Development Kit (JDK) that we download and install from the suns website to install Java.


What's the difference between JVM and JDK?

There are two main things you can download for Java: the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and the Java Development Kit (JDK). The JRE is used by those who wish only to run Java programs. In order to do this it uses the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to run Java bytecode. The JDK is used by developers and contains both the JRE and the programs and libraries needed to compile and run Java programs. Simple summary: The JDK contains the JRE which contains the JVM.


What is difference between jvmjre and jdk?

JVM Stands for Java Virtual Machine. JVM is the virtual machine in which a java program gets executed. JRE stands for Java Runtime Environment.

JDK is the basic software that gets downloaded from sun's java website if anyone wants to use java.


What is the difference between Java IDE and JVM?

Java Virtual Machine is a program that runs pre compiledJavaprograms, which mean JVM executes .class files (byte-code) and produces output. The JVM is written for each platform supported by Java included in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). The Oracle JVM is written in the C programming language.


Why it is not possible to execute java program on machine which does not have JVM installed on it?

when a java program is compiled it is converted into a non executable code which is byte code, and this byte code can only be interpreted by JVM. so a java program can't be executed on a machine which doesn't have JVM installed on it.


If your java program says no compiler is available what does that mean?

It means you have not installed jdk and jre in your machine...


JDK version is same as JRE version?

No, not necessarily. JDK stands for Java Development Kit and JRE stands for Java Runtime Environment. They can be of the same or different versions each. It is better if we have two compatible or same versions of JDK and JRE installed for ease of use.


What is needed to run java?

You must have the Java Run-time Environment installed on your computer. Steps: 1. Open Command Prompt 2. Enter the command: javac class.java 3. Enter the command: java <classfilename> (without the .java or .class extension) The javac command will compile your java source file and create a class file. The java command will execute or run your java class file.
