Which software is there to run Java program?

Question

Silly but important question for me as I'm new in learning Java. Can anyone suggest best software to run Java Program?

Answer 1

JDK

Answer 2

to run, it is called JRE - the Java Runtime Environment. You can normally invoke it with 'java program'.

Answer 3

You have the virtual environment that java runs on (JDK,JRE)
Then you have the IDE platform where you can write your programs on.
I believe most of us prefer Eclipse.

Answer 4

Netbeans
