Sandbox can be supposed to be a safe box in your computer system that can be used for testing stuff while file system remains safe and secured from hazards of that stuff. With help of Java, applications can be downloaded over a network and executed in a sandbox. Its popularity can be judged form this fact that many cross platform applications need Java to be installed on system in order to work properly. There were times when Microsoft tried to discourage Java applications but it was too late, developers and public had fallen in love with that flexible environment of Java. That’s why a very large number of developers prefer Java to C#. But Java is even more powerful and famous due to its cross-platform and cross-browser features. It has been a strong competitor of Microsoft C#, that’s solid base. It is supported by all popular web browsers. It establishes an online connection between Java platform and web browser. Java Plugin technology is a part of Java 2 Runtime Environment Standard Edition (JRE).

Java is actually grown to a solid platform. Applets are used for rich online interactive and dynamic web experience that is not possible by static HTML language pages. Applications developed using Java programming language are called ‘applets’. Java Runtime Environment (JRE & JDK) software lets you execute applications that are developed using Java (a popular programming language).

The JDK includes tools useful for developing and testing programs written in the Java programming language and running on the Java TM platform.

The JDK is a development environment for building applications, applets, and components using the Java programming language. Thank you for downloading this release of the Java TM Platform, Standard Edition Development Kit (JDK TM).
