Dick,
JRE is a subset of the JDK. The former allows you to run java
applications
while the latter adds the tools to write java applications, too.
Will I run into trouble trying to install the jdk with an existing
jre? Or
should I uninstall the existing jre and then install the jdk?
You can run multiple versions simultaneously. Doesn't matter if they're
Oracle's stuff or openjdk/openjre. But, some applications use the FX
widget
set rather than an older one and some of the open* don't include javajfx.
For simplicity, install Oracle's versions needed by the software you run.
Good luck!
Thanks. I'll try installing Oracle's version without uninstalling the
other one and see if there are complaints. If there are, I'll uninstall
the version in Synaptic.
