This question have certanly been posted before, but then agin...

What I know:
JDK (Java Developmet Kit) is the pakage for develop java programs.
JRE (Java Runtimme Enviorment) is the pakage to run java programs.

But why...
does JRE apper in both JDK and standalone when you install the
latest jdk-1_5_0_09-nb-5_0-win-ml.exe?
and, can you somehow remove the standalone JRE (C:\java\jre1.5.0_09)
and redirect everything to the one in JDK (C:\java\jdk1.5.0_09\jre) -
they both seam to have the same files...?
