Oracle JDK (Java Development Kit): Oracle JDK is the official reference implementation of the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE). It included the JRE along with development tools.
OpenJDK: An open-source alternative to Oracle JDK, OpenJDK is a community-driven project. It provides a free and open-source implementation of the Java Platform, and many other JDKs, including Oracle JDK, are derived from OpenJDK.
