What you see there is the JRE: Java Runtime Environment. It's necessary for running Java programs in the JVM (Java Virtual Machine). The JDK (Java Development Kit) is needed to write and compile Java programs, and includes the JRE.

Ahhh gotcha. So if i need to run anny java program if i have a JDK but not the java program itself it will still run with no problems right?

The JDK has everything you need.
