JAVA DEVELOPMENT KIT(JDK)

   Java Development Kit(JDK) comes with a collection of tools that are used for developing and running Java program. Java Development Tools include:

Tools	Description
appletviewer	Enables us to run Java.
Java	Java interpreter, which runs applets and applications by reading and interpreting bytecode files.
Javac	The Java compiler, which translates Java source code to bytecode file that interpreter can understand.
Javadoc	Creates HTML-format documentation from Java source code files.
javah	Produces header files for use with native methods.
javap	Java disassembler, which enables us to convert bytecode files into a program description.
Jdb	Java debugger, which helps us to find errors in our programs.

The Process of building and running a Java application program is as follows: §  To create a java program we need to create a source file using a text editor. §  The source code is then compiled using javac compiler. §  The code is then executed by using Java Interpreter java. §  The java debugger jdb is used to find errors , if any in the source code. §  Compiled java program can be converted into source code by using java disassembler.
