What happens if you try to run a Java application without having the JRE installed?
The JVM will attempt to compile the application, but will fail because the JRE is missing.
You're on the right track, but the JVM doesn't compile the applicationâ€”it executes the bytecode. Without the JRE, it can't do this.
Can you clarify what role the JRE plays in executing a Java application, and why itâ€™s necessary?
