Overview (Java SE 10 & JDK 10 ) (original) (raw)
This document is divided into three sections:
The Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) APIs define the core Java platform for general-purpose computing. These APIs are in modules whose names start with
java.The Java Development Kit (JDK) APIs are specific to the JDK and will not necessarily be available in all implementations of the Java SE Platform. These APIs are in modules whose names start with
jdk.The JavaFX APIs define a set of user-interface controls, graphics, media, and web packages for developing rich client applications. These APIs are in modules whose names start with
javafx.
