This cross-platform software is designed to be used on various operating systems, including macOS, and is an essential tool for any Java developer.
The JDK platform provides a comprehensive set of tools and utilities that make it possible to develop, package, monitor, and deploy applications that are built for any standard Java platform, including Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE), Java Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME), and Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE).
More specifically, JDK is an implementation of the Java platform specification, which includes the compiler, standard class libraries, and many other services and tools that are necessary for the development, testing, and deploying of all types of apps, from local apps, web services, student projects, business apps, video games, and more.
Developed by Oracle, this popular SDK platform has recently been updated to its 22nd version, introducing many advanced features that can impact development for projects of all types and sizes.
Main Features
- Java Compiler – Quickly and reliably convert source code into Java bytecode.
- Java Runtime Environment – Access all necessary libraries and utilities for running Java applications.
- Java Virtual Machine – The JDK includes a Java Virtual Machine that provides the necessary environment for running Java applications.
- Tools and Utilities – Access everything that is necessary for development, testing, and deploying Java applications.
- Support for Various Java Platforms – Java SE, Java ME, and Java EE.
Users can download the latest version of this programming tool from the official Oracle website or secure FileHorse servers and follow the installation prompts.
Once installed, users can start using this software development platform immediately.
How to Use
Newcomers who encounter this SDK for the first time can learn much more about it via provided documentation, tutorials, and extensive online help posted by the large international community.
The simplest way to generate a new Java app is to open a terminal window and type the command javac to compile Java source code into Java bytecode. Users can also use the jar command to create a jar file from a set of class files.
Seasoned users are encouraged to get informed about the latest add-ons and updates provided by Oracle, and experiment with JDK.
User Interface
The JDK does not have a fully-featured graphical user interface. Instead, it is a command-line tool that is used to compile, package, and run Java applications.

What's new in this version:
JDK 23.0.2 contains IANA time zone data 2024b which contains the following changes:
- Improve historical data for Mexico, Mongolia, and Portugal
- System V names are now obsolescent
- The main data form now uses %z
- The code now conforms to RFC 8536 for early timestamps
- Support POSIX.1-2024, which removes asctime_r and ctime_r
Other Notes:
core-libs/java.lang ➜ ProcessBuilder on Windows Quotes Argument Strings Containing Any Space Character (JDK-8335428 (not public)):
- On Windows, the ProcessBuilder has expanded the quoting of argument strings when starting a process to ensure they are recognized by the application as a single command argument. The set of space characters has been expanded from space (0x20) to include all space characters as defined by java.lang.Character.isSpaceChar, which includes all Unicode space separator characters, such as EN-SPACE (0x2002), and line separator and paragraph separator characters.
core-libs/java.time ➜ Support for Time Zone Database 2024b (JDK-8339637):
- IANA Time Zone Database has been upgraded to 2024b. This version mainly includes changes to improve historical data for Mexico, Mongolia, and Portugal. It also changes one timestamp abbreviation, for the time zone 'MET'. Also Asia/Choibalsan is now an alias for Asia/Ulaanbaatar.
- The new tzdata changes also impact some legacy time zone IDs. As per 2024b changes "EST" links to "America/Panama", "HST" links to "Pacific/Honolulu" and "MST" links to "America/Phoenix". To maintain compatibility with the Java SE specification, the java.time.ZoneId.SHORT_IDS Map has not changed. Further details are available at JDK-8342331
