• Java中的一些基础概念


    学习了Java没多久,有一些基础概念有点犯迷惑。今天偶遇好文,摘录在此:

    JDK (Java Development Kit)

    Java Developer Kit contains tools needed to develop the Java programs, and JRE to run the programs. The tools include compiler (javac.exe), Java application launcher (java.exe), Appletviewer, etc…

    Compiler converts java code into byte code. Java application launcher opens a JRE, loads the class, and invokes its main method.

    You need JDK, if at all you want to write your own programs, and to compile the m. For running java programs, JRE is sufficient.

    JRE is targeted for execution of Java files

    i.e. JRE = JVM + Java Packages Classes(like util, math, lang, awt,swing etc)+runtime libraries.

    JDK is mainly targeted for java development. I.e. You can create a Java file (with the help of Java packages), compile a Java file and run a java file

     

    JRE (Java Runtime Environment)

    Java Runtime Environment contains JVM, class libraries, and other supporting files. It does not contain any development tools such as compiler, debugger, etc. Actually JVM runs the program, and it uses the class libraries, and other supporting files provided in JRE. If you want to run any java program, you need to have JRE installed in the system

    The Java Virtual Machine provides a platform-independent way of executing code; programmers can concentrate on writing software, without having to be concerned with how or where it will run.

    If u just want to run applets (ex: Online Yahoo games or puzzles), JRE needs to be installed on the machine.

     

    JVM (Java Virtual Machine)

    As we all aware when we compile a Java file, output is not an 'exe' but it's a '.class' file. '.class' file consists of Java byte codes which are understandable by JVM. Java Virtual Machine interprets the byte code into the machine code depending upon the underlying operating system and hardware combination. It is responsible for all the things like garbage collection, array bounds checking, etc… JVM is platform dependent.

    The JVM is called "virtual" because it provides a machine interface that does not depend on the underlying operating system and machine hardware architecture. This independence from hardware and operating system is a cornerstone of the write-once run-anywhere value of Java programs.

    There are different JVM implementations are there. These may differ in things like performance, reliability, speed, etc. These implementations will differ in those areas where Java specification doesn’t mention how to implement the features, like how the garbage collection process works is JVM dependent, Java spec doesn’t define any specific way to do this.

     

    Classpath

    Classpath is nothing but setting up the environment for Java. Java will use to find compiled classes (i.e. .class files).

    Path

    PATH is nothing but setting up an environment for operating system. Operating System will look in this PATH for executables.
