Close - very close:
RT == Run Time - this is the basic Java run time.
I18N == Internationalization - add this to the RT to get:
JRE == Run Time + Internationalization
JDK == Developer kit + Run Time + Internationalization.
If you ship a Java product you can *not* ship the JDK with it.
You *can* ship the JRE or RT (and I18N) with it.
