The Basics : isCOBOL and Java : The JDK and JRE

The JDK and JRE
isCOBOL Evolve requires a Java Development Kit (JDK) for development and a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for deployment.
NOTE - The JDK and JRE are not distributed with isCOBOL Evolve. They must be installed before using isCOBOL Evolve. For most platforms, they can be downloaded free of charge from “http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html”. For more information, refer to the installation section.
The minimum Java version required is 1.7. Previous versions are not supported.
The JDK contains the Java compiler, utilities and a copy of the JRE.
On Microsoft Windows® platforms, the JDK and JRE are installed in subdirectories of “C:\Program Files\Java”. For example, the default installation directory for JDK 7 is “C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0”.
The default installation directory for the JRE that comes with JDK 7 is “C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\jre”.
The JRE is distributed separately for production-only sites where no development kit is needed. The default installation directory for JRE 7 is “C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.7.0”.
