Is there any substantial difference between those two terms?. I understand that JDK stands for Java Development Kit that is a subset of SDK (Software Development Kit). But s
The JDK comes with a collection of tools that are used for developing and running Java programs,
They include:
appletviewer (for viewing Java applets)
javac (Java compiler)
java (Java interpreter)
javap (Java disassembler)
javah (for C header files)
javadoc (for creating HTML documents)
jdb (Java debugger)
Whereas, the SDK comes with many other tools also including the tools available in JDKs.
