Evolution of java

• 1995: Java 1.0 released by Sun Microsystems

• 2004: J2SE 5.0 introduced generics, autoboxing, enums

• 2014: Java SE 8 introduced Lambdas and Stream API

• 2018: Java SE 11 (LTS) with modularization

• 2021: Java SE 17 (LTS) with sealed classes

• 2023: Java SE 21 (LTS) with virtual threads

• Java Platforms Comparison

JDK/JRE/JVM Explanation

JDK (Java Development Kit)

It is a complete development package for Java programmers. It contains compiler (javac) to convert Java code to bytecode. It contains Tools (java, jar, javadoc) for development. It contains Libraries and development files. It is used for development Java applications.

JRE (Java Runtime Environment)

It is an environment to run Java applications. It contains JVM (Java Virtual Machine). It contains Core libraries and classes. It contains Support files. It is used to execute Java programs (end-users need this).

JVM (Java Virtual Machine)

It is a Virtual machine that executes Java bytecode. It loads bytecode. It verifies code safety. It executes code line by line. It provides memory management (garbage collection). It makes Java platform-independent (Write Once, Run Anywhere).

Windows Installation Steps

1. Download JDK 21 from Oracle website
2. Run installer and follow setup instructions
3. Set JAVA_HOME environment variable to JDK installation path
4. Add %JAVA_HOME%\bin to system PATH
5. Verify installation with java -version and javac -version

(See screenshots/java-install-verification.png)

Eclipse Setup Steps

1. Download Eclipse IDE for Java Developers
2. Extract and run eclipse.exe
3. Configure Installed JREs to point to JDK 21
4. Import project as Existing Projects into Workspace
5. Set run configuration for CCRMApplication main class
