If Java is preinstalled, yes. If not, no ;)

You need Java, to be more precise: jre, installed to run a jar file.

It is possible to pack your program together with the needed runtime environment so that your program files contain the jre you need to run it. See https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/deploy/self-contained-packaging.html Usually you want to deliver a setup.exe or msi (Windows OS). Then you need to put all needed sources, jre and others, to the setup. If you want to go that way, I recommend to look into build tools like Maven or Ant, because it will make the deployment much easier once you are familiar with them.

You'll need JDK in order to develop in Java. If all you want is to run a Java application you will only need JRE. For the case of running a jar file use: java -jar your_jar_file.jar
