According to Wikipedia: “In computer programming, a software framework is an abstraction in which software providing generic functionality can be selectively changed by additional user-written code, thus providing application-specific software. A software framework is a universal, reusable software platform to develop applications, products and solutions. Software frameworks include support programs, compilers, code libraries, tool sets, and application programming interfaces (APIs) that bring together all the different components to enable development of a project or solution.”

The JDK has a collection of progamming tools, including java, javac, javadoc, javaws, jar, apt, appletviewer, visualVM, etc. Too, the JDK also comes with a complete Java Runtime Environment, usually called a private runtime, due to the fact that it is separated from the “regular” JRE and has extra contents. It consists of a Java Virtual Machine and all of the class libraries present in the production environment, as well as additional libraries only useful to developers, such as the internationalization libraries and the IDL libraries (wikipedia reference).
