J
J2SE Development Kit (JDK)
The development kit delivered with the J2SE platform. Contrast with J2SE Runtime
Environment (JRE). See also, Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE).
J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE)
The Java virtual machine and the Core Packages. This is the standard Java environment
that the java command invokes. Contrast with J2SE Development Kit (JDK). See also,
Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE).
jar
The Java Archive tool, which combines multiple files into a single Java Archive (JAR)

Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE platform)
An environment for developing and deploying enterprise applications. The J2EE platform
consists of a set of services, application programming interfaces (APIs) and protocols that
provide the functionality for developing multi-tiered, Web-based applications.
Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE)
The core Java technology platform, which provides a complete environment for
applications development on desktops and servers and for deployment in embedded
environments. For more information, see the Sun Microsystems JDK 5.0 Documentation.
Java Conformance Kit (JCK)
The collection of conformance tests that any vendor's JDK must pass in order to be
conformant with the Sun Microsystems specification.
Java Database Connectivity (JDBC)
An industry standard for database-independent connectivity between the Java platform
and relational databases such as NonStop SQL/MP or NonStop SQL/MX. JDBC provides
a call-level API for SQL-based database access.
Java HotSpot virtual machine
The Java virtual machine implementation designed to produce maximum
program-execution speed for applications running in a server environment. This virtual
machine features an adaptive compiler that dynamically optimizes the performance of
running applications.
