hi partner,

The JavaTM Runtime Environment (also known as the Java Runtime or JRE) consists of the Java virtual machine*, the Java platform core classes, and supporting files. It is the runtime part of the Java Development Kit -- no compiler, no debugger, no tools. The JRE is the smallest set of executables and files that constitute the standard Java platform.
I hope this will help ya , if not completely then i m sure definately alil bit
Regards
Khurram Fakhar

jvm it the one which uses the .class files bytecode on then does the necessary work. but what does the jre do "according to me the jre is the evironment in which the class file run's" , now this is exactly the reason why it am confused both are used to run the class file then who does what job.
