JDK Vs JRE

JDK = JRE + Java Development tools
JRE = JVM + Java inbuilt packages + Run time libraries

Most of the people always has the doubt of why JDK is again having JRE inside ? Though it got provided out of the JDK.

Standard JRE doesn't have tools like javac, javaDB and tool.jar
So make sure you always point JDK JRE in your project build path.

Except the above difference rest of the things are same with Standard JRE's and JRE inside JDK.
