Java JDK and JRE versions are confusing me
The current Java JDK version is JDK 21 but when you download and install the latest Java JRE, it is Java 8.
I want to develop a desktop application that anyone can use after downloading his or her JRE.
I cannot use JDK21 in this case.
What am I missing here?
Thanks

Re: Java JDK and JRE versions are confusing me
Java 8 is for developers. Like for for us, clients who are willing to switch over to java programs, the jre use a java 8 on the server side computer. But the jdk is the standard edition kit. Latest versions. This is used to make your own forums. Just like the Apache Tomcat uses a jdk standard edition kit.
