Hi Steve, the JRE is necessary to run applications. To develop Java-applications you would need the SDK (it contains the compiler as well as some other tools for signature-handling and so on). If you do not compile JMeter but use binary builds instead there is no neccessity to use a SDK. Your JRE is absolutely sufficient for running JMeter.
Greetings, Wolfram P.S.: The Java 2 SDK was named JDK in earlier Java-versions. A lot of people (me included) still use JDK when referring to the SDK. And j2se just means "Java Standard Edition". As you might know there also exist a Java Enterprise Edition (j2ee) and a Java Micro Edition (j2me). But nothing of this should bother you ;-) _____________original:_________________ > > > As far as problems with remote testing, all I can say is that, on > > Windows2000, jdk1.4.0, it works for me. > > This hit me, just this morning... > > jdk1.4.0? > > Now...
