Do anyone know what was meant by the final comment? I've copied it

Why
is this recommended?
1) java-config.
OK. Thanks Holly. But if I'm going to set the VM to be the jdk, then
why install the jre? I guess I have no clue about the difference
between the jre and the jdk or why both are needed or what each one
does. I can say that installing the jdk broke one aspect of the sun
jre. Bummer for me.
this has always confused me...if you install the jdk, in the path
with the jdk (/usr/local/java for instance), there's a jre
directory...you have /usr/local/java/bin/java and /usr/local/java/jre/
bin/java.....both. so you don't need to install both. the jdk is
INCLUSIVE of the jre.
2) because you won't then get the errors you reported at the
beginning
of this thread :-) . At least with Sun java; I switched a while
ago to
support the java apps I use that require 1.5.0, and don't remember so
much how blackdown works anymore.
The problem is, for me and as far as I know, the Sun jre doesn't have
browser support in the 64-bit arena so that's been an issue for me
here.
Thanks for the info.
