The development tools are part of the Java Development Kit (JDK), and the classes are part of Java Standard Library(JSL).
They include:
Javac: javac.exe is java compiler, which translates java source code into byte code files that are later run by the java interpreter.It also checks for errors.
Java: Java.exe is the java interpreter. This program runs the byte code and displays the result of the program.
Appletviewer: Appletviewer.exe is a file used to run java applets if we are not having a java compatible browser, then we use appletviewer to run java applets.
Javadoc: Javadoc is the java document tool. It creates HTML documents for the java program.
Javah: Javah produces header files for use with other programming languages like c/c++.
Javap: Javap is a disassembler, which enables us to convert byte code files into a program description.
Jdb: Jdb is a java debugger which is used to debug our programs.
