The books says JDK can be downloaded free of charge on www.java.sun.com I dont know which one to download. no one says JDK. Books says it supplies 2 primary programs. They are Javac.exe and java.exe. I sould download either one of those 2 or just the JDK?

Well those two parts are wrapped up in the JDK. javac is the Java compiler that takes your source code and makes it an executable thing. java is the Java virtual machine that picks up your executable and executes it (makes it run!). If you pull down the JDK all of that will be in it

Look for "Popular Downloads" on the right side of the screen at http://java.sun.com and click on "Java SE". Then you'll see download links for the JDK. Enjoy!
Java SE is "Standard Edition" which is what you want. The JDK for Windows will include javac.exe and java.exe.

also, if you're learning java, use jcreator as your IDE. It's awesome - as awesome as coding in java can get at least.
