Java 2 Runtime Environment 8 Update 381 for Windows

Java is a powerful programming language that allows you to create all kinds of apps that will run on any platform with little to no changes. The only drawback of Java is that it requires the presence of an interpreter called runtime environment, which is essential to run countless programs that are nowadays required on any PC.

As such, Java 2 Runtime Environment (J2RE) has everything you need to run JAVA apps. The package contains the Java virtual machine, the runtime libraries and the necessary apps to launch programs written in this language. An endless number of web pages and web services are written in Java, so you need to install it to work in your browser, most of which are prepared to run this type of app.

This package is intended for users, not developers; the Java 2 SDK Standard Edition is available for compiling and developing apps.
