Java Runtime Environment Version 6 Update 16

Description

The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) allows end-users to run Java applications
The Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment is intended for software developers and vendors to redistribute with their applications.

The Java 2 Runtime Environment contains the Java virtual machine, runtime class libraries, and Java application launcher that are necessary to run programs written in the Java programming language.

Sun Java JRE is not a development environment and does not contain development tools such as compilers or debuggers. For development tools, see the Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition.

The J2SE Java Runtime Environment (JRE) allows end-users to run Java applications.

Features :

• Write software on one platform and run it on practically any other platform
• Create programs to run within a web browser and web services
• Develop server-side applications for online forums, stores, polls, HTML forms processing, and more
• Combine Java technology-based applications or services to create highly customized applications or services
• Write powerful and efficient applications for mobile phones, remote processors, low-cost consumer products, and practically any device with a digital heartbeat

• Per-applet command-line arguments. JVM command-line arguments may be specified on a per-applet basis, providing fine-grained control over options such as the heap size and Java 2D hardware acceleration features. JNLP-launched applets simply incorporate
• Multiple Java Platform version support. Each individual applet instance may request a different Java Platform version on which to run. This feature is designed for enterprise customers which prefer to qualify their applets against
