The apt is a java annotation processing tool.ĥ) appletviewer which is a java tool that runs and debugs applets without a web browser.Ħ) jar which is a java tool that helps to create and manage Java Archive (JAR) files. The reflective APIs of apt offer a build-time, source-based, read-only view of program structure. javaDoc is the Java API documentation generator.Ĥ) apt which is a command-line utility for annotation processing, which includes a set of reflective APIs and also some supporting infrastructure to process program annotations (JSR 175). In the latest JDK, the old deployment launcher, jre is no longer provided.ģ) javadoc, which parses the declarations and documentation comments in a set of source files so as to produce a set of HTML pages describing the classes, interfaces, constructors, methods, and fields.
In Java EE, the java program is used as a launcher, both for development and deployment. The following is a list of basic java tools which are part of the Java JDK:-ġ) javac which is the compiler for the Java programming language.Ģ) java which is used to launch Java applications.
