Java Runtime Environment is a piece of software that acts like a plugin, it enables the execution of java applications (stand-alone ones) and also views java content embedded in web pages.
When we find a program that needs Java in order to work properly, we come across a diversity of names referring to the same software: Java Runtime Environment, Java Runtime, Runtime Environment, Runtime, JRE, Java Virtual Machine, Virtual Machine, Java VM, JVM, VM, or Java download.
The Java download includes the necessary files for the Java Virtual Machine (software that enables execution of java-based programs) and the web browser plugin (for Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari and so on), which enables the user to visit web pages with java content.
Java is a worldwide, cross-platform technology that makes the portability of programs possible. That is, you can run a Java application without regarding the Operating System installed on the computer (Microsoft Windows, Linux, Macintosh...), and even different processor architectures (Intel, Mac, SPARC, PowerPC, even cell phones!...)
Advantages:
- The application's portability is the major advantage of using Java. Java developers can develop applications that can run on almost every computer architecture, and even in cell phones, with minor changes in the development.
- Also, there are many development frameworks, in a very mature state, to aid Java developers to implement n-tier, carrier class solutions.
Disadvantages:
- Software using Java needs more system resources, especially RAM.
- Moreover, the online method to download Java and install the JRE is difficult for slow connections.

Works like magic. Enables some programs that do not ordinarily come on easily.
Guest #207918 says 6 months ago #
Its Java, its necessary for programs that I use. There's nothing wrong with it, I just wish the installer wouldn't try to bundle
things with it. Other that that, swimmingly easy to maintain.
