The Java JDK (Java Development Kit) is a software development environment that creates Java applications.

Oracle JDK 8 and Oracle Java SE Embedded 8 are now available to download. Java SE 8 and Java ME 8 are on a strong convergence path, with Java ME 8 scheduled for availability later this spring.

Oracle has extended public updates for Java Development Kit (JDK) 8 until at least January 2019. These had been slated to end in September 2018.
