JDK vs. JRE

eliepash Jul 5, 2005 3:08 PM

Upon running the initial run.sh to test if JBOSS has been installed properly I get:

run.sh: Missing file: /lib/tools.jar
run.sh: Unexpected results may occur, Make sure JAVA_HOME points to JDK and not JRE.

I thought the JDK was part of the JRE. I have an installed JRE and SDK.

thanks for any help.

JRE is part of the JDK.
Set the environment variable JAVA_HOME to the directory containing the JDK.

where is the JDK download?
If you check out:
http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/java-sun/JDK-1.4.2_04/linux/

you'll see only JRE and SDK? where's the JDK for 1.4.2_04

thanks.

Yes, what you're looking for is the J2SDK (Java 2 Software Developement Kit)... it used to simply be called the JDK (Java Development Kit).
