Hi,

Can anyone tell me the substantial differences between JRE and JDK?

JRE stands for Java Runtime Environment, basically allows you to run your Java bytecode in any operating system environment. Meaning you have to have the correct JRE for whatever operating system you are on. JDK stands for Java Development Kit, this allows you to build the Java classes and has the JRE built into it...
