Can I develop Java programs if I have only JRE installed?

Question

I have JRE 1.7 installed on my system. Due to some admin issues I don\'t have JDK on my system. is there any way I can develop Java programs with JRE only?

Answer 1

I request you to resolve admin rights. Else I have two options for you.

1) You cannot do anything without Java Development Kit.

2)You can install a IDE to code Java which makes your work in the current situation simpler. Use Eclipse or NetBeans. I would recommend Eclipse to you anyway. You can download eclipse from this link https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

Try downloading JDK from this http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/overview/index-jsp-138218.html.

Hope this helps you.
