Again, see above.Īfter your install, double check “C:\Program Files\Java” to see both these folders. Remember from above that JDK contains JRE, which makes sense if you know what they both are. “C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\” (JRE) Keep in mind the above links are for reference purposes only, to show you the step by step method of what it takes to download the JDK. You are now downloading (hopefully the latest) JDK for your system! :).Click "Java SE Development Kit 7 (Windows 圆4)": (for my 64-bit Windows 7 system).Click "JDK Download" and visit "Java SE Development Kit 7 Downloads": (note that following the link from step #1 will take you to a different link as JDK 1.7 updates, later versions, are now out).Here's the step by step links I followed (one step leads to the next, this is all for a single download) to download Java for development (JDK): ![]()
