Proposed new Java page. See this "discussion" for the rationale.

Java

Java is composed of:

• Community https://www.jcp.org/
• Platform (JVM, JRE ...) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_(software_platform)
• Programming language (Java is the most popular) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_(programming_language)

If you came here because an application ask for Java (or JRE, JVM) to be installed: install Java

sudo dnf install java

If it still does not work or the application ask specifically for Oracle Java: See here

If you want to develop, code on the Java Platform: See Development

JRE JDK SDK JVM OpenJDK ?

• JVM Java Virtual Machine. It relates to the Java Platform. It is in the package Java. There are other implementations, notably Oracle, see ...
• JRE Java Runtime Environment. Idem JVM.
• JDK Java Development Kit
• SDK Software Development Kit
