Java can be used to develop virtually any kind of software applications like Games that can run on PCs and Mobiles, Desktop Applications, Web Applications, Embedded Applications (for example applications which can run in a watch or a pen) etc.
We need JDK (Java Development Kit) to develop applications using Java.
JDK contains an important tool called compiler, which transforms the source code written in Java to executable code. This process is called compilation.
JRE (JRE) contains all the required tools and libraries to execute the compiled Java code.
Java became quickly popular because the code written in Java can be run on any operating system (Like, Windows, Linux or Mac) provided it has the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) installed on it.
Note: Code written in Java is compiled using the Java compiler which is bundled as part of JDK (Java Development Kit).
