HP Integrity and HP 9000 PA-RISC systems.

requirements” (page 11).
The release notes is not included in the software kit, and instead, this online version is
your source of information for this release. It has the most up-to-date information, especially
regarding known defects, so you may want to check occasionally for the latest information.
Note that beginning with 1.4.2.08, the Runtime Plug-in and Java Web Start release
notes are included with these JDK/JRE release notes.
There are two principal products in the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition family. For 5.0,
Oracle has reverted to the terminology JDK and JRE.
• J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE)
The JRE provides the libraries, HotSpot Java virtual machine, and other components
necessary for executing a Java application. You may include the JRE with your Java
applications as long as you adhere to the HP software license agreement and
supplemental restrictions provided in the license file. One requirement is that you
must include all of the runtime environment files provided by HP.
The JRE is included in the JDK download package and also provided as a separate
product. Both the Runtime Plug-in and the Java Web Start technology are now
packaged with the JRE.
• J2SE Development Kit (JDK)
The JDK is a superset of the JRE and includes additional tools such as compilers and
debuggers necessary for developing applets and applications. The JDK download
package also includes the JRE.
