Basically JRE is the sofware that enables a computer of any end-user to run java applications.

It has support for Applet plug-ins for miscellaneous web browsers.

It has support for Java WebStart, a possibility to distribute applications through the internet.

If you create an own java application, you sell this app to end-users.

Possibly they have to install a JRE first from java.sun.com.

Linux, MacOS, Solaris come with a JRE preinstalled, many high-end distributions also.

In the development kit for the java programmer, there is more: java compiler, optional packages,

java documentation etcetera.

The JRE is sufficient for most things.

Technically speaking, As you must be knowing that Java files will be converted into .class files nothing but ByteCode. ByteCode is nothing more than a code which is machine independent code which can run on any OS. JRE will read the ByteCode and interpret it to the OS specific code so that it can run on that particular OS.
