Java (TM) SE Development Kit 7 Update 2

Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 7 Update 2 by Oracle is a complete toolkit for building, testing, and running applications on the Java Platform, Standard Edition 7. It includes the Java Runtime Environment (JRE 7), the HotSpot virtual machine, the Java compiler (javac), and a suite of developer tools such as the debugger, Javadoc, Jar, and monitoring utilities.

JDK 7 delivers language enhancements like try-with-resources, the diamond operator, multi-catch, and strings in switch statements, along with major library updates such as the NIO.2 filesystem API and the Fork/Join Framework for parallel programming. It also adds invokedynamic to optimize dynamic languages on the JVM.

Update 2 is a maintenance release that provides stability improvements, performance enhancements, security updates, and broader compatibility for the JDK 7 line. It is intended for developers and build environments; users who only need to run Java applications should install the JRE instead.
