Java SE Development Kit

Overview of Java SE Development Kit (Developing Java programs with the JDK)

Java allows you to play online games, chat with people around the world, calculate your mortgage interest, and view images in 3D. These applications, written in the Java programming language and access from your browse, are called applets. Corporations also use Java applets for intranet applications and other e-business solutions. Java is used by companies in all major industries.

Whether deployed on cell phones, embedded devices, game consoles, laptops, or in datacenters, Java offers the rich user interface, performance, versatility, portability, and security that today’s networked applications require. Java Platform Standard Edition software is the premier platform for rapidly developing and deploying secure, portable applications that run on server and desktop systems spanning most operating systems.

Java technology is an object-oriented, platform-independent, multithreaded programming environment. Whether developing applications for consumers or mission-critical deployments, you can depend on a consistent programming environment.

• Enables you to efficiently deploy exciting new applications and services
• Enables applications to securely access key system resources while protecting your data
• Allows you to do more with your applications, from real-time capabilities to high-performance multitasking virtual machines to broad access to system capabilities
• Runs across more than seven billion devices including mobile, desktop, television, and countless embedded devices.
