= Installing Java
|
|
|
|
Java is a popular programming language that allows you run programs on many platforms, including Fedora.
|
|
If you want to create Java programs, you need to install a JDK (Java Development Kit).
|
|
If you want to run a Java program, you can do that on a JVM (Java Virtual Machine), which is provided with the JRE (Java Runtime Environment).
|
|
If in doubt, install the JDK because this is sometimes required even if the intention is not to write Java programs.
|
|
|
|
Many flavors of Java exist and also many versions of each flavor.
|
|
If you want to just run a specific application, check the documentation of that software to see what versions of Java are supported or have been tested.
|
|
Most Java applications run on one of the following:
|
|
|
|
* OpenJDK -- an open-source implementation of the Java Platform, Standard Edition.
|
|
This version is preferred, and included in Fedora.
|
|
* Oracle Java SE -- a free JDK from Oracle.
|
|
This version is not open-source and we recommend that it only be used if OpenJDK is not sufficient.
|
|
|
|
You can find the following Versions:
|
|
|
|
* Version (Ex. 8)
|
|
|
|
* Long Term Support or `LTS`
|
|
|
|
* Latest
