OpenJDK (Open Java Development Kit) is a free and open-source implementation of the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE). [2] It is the result of an effort Sun Microsystems began in 2006, four years before the company was acquired by Oracle Corporation.
The Java language has undergone several changes since JDK 1.0 as well as numerous additions of classes and packages to the standard library.Since J2SE 1.4, the evolution of the Java language has been governed by the Java Community Process (JCP), which uses Java Specification Requests (JSRs) to propose and specify additions and changes to the Java platform.
The JDK also comes with a complete Java Runtime Environment (JRE), 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 ...

IcedTea-web provides a free-software Java Web browser plugin. It was the first to work in 64-bit browsers under 64-bit Linux, a feature Sun's proprietary JRE later addressed. [27] This makes it suitable to enable support for Java applets in 64-bit Mozilla Firefox, among others.
