It provides the libraries, the Java Virtual Machine, and other components to run applets and applications written in the Java programming language. In addition, two key deployment technologies are part of the JRE: Java Plug-in, which Enables Applets to Run in Popular Browsers; and Web Start, which deploys standalone applications over a network. Many cross platform applications also require Java to operate properly.
Itis a programming language and computing platform first released by Sun Microsystems in 1995. There are lots of applications and websites that will not work unless you have Java installed, and more are created every day. The program is fast, secure, and reliable. From laptops to datacenters, game consoles to scientific supercomputers, cell phones to the Internet, Java is everywhere! Itis at the heart of the digital lifestyle. It's the platform for launching careers, exploring human-to-digital interfaces, architecting the world's best applications, and unlocking innovation everywhere—from garages to global organizations.

What is Java Plug-in software?
The program is a component of the (JRE). The JRE allows applets written in the programming language to run inside various web browsers. The Plug-in software is not a standalone program and cannot be installed separately.

The JDK and the JRE have minimum processor, disk space, and memory requirements for 64-bit Windows platform.
Before installing the JDK or the JRE on your 64-bit Windows platform, you must verify that it meets the following minimum processor, disk space, and memory requirements.
Processor Requirements
Both the JDK and JRE require at minimum a Pentium 2 266 MHz processor.
Disk Space Requirements
For JDK 10, you are given the option of installing the following features:
Development Tools
Source Code
Public Java Runtime Environment
When you install 64-bit JDK, then 64-bit public JRE also gets installed. The following table provides the disk requirements for the installed features:
JDK | Installed Image |
---|---|
Development Tools: 64-bit platform | 500 MB |
Source Code | 54.2 MB |
JRE | Installed Image |
---|---|
Public Java Runtime Environment | 200 MB |
Java Update | 2 MB |
Memory Requirements
On Windows 64-bit operating systems, the Java runtime requires a minimum of 128 MB of memory.
Note:
The minimum physical RAM is required to run graphically based applications. More RAM is recommended for applets running within a browser using the Java Plug-in. Running with less memory may cause disk swapping, which has a severe effect on performance. Very large programs may require more RAM for adequate performance.
