Java (TM) SE Development Kit 6 Update 31

Java (TM) SE Development Kit 6 Update 31 (JDK 6u31) by Oracle is a maintenance release of the Java SE 6 platform for developers who build, debug, and deploy applications targeting Java 6. It includes the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and a complete toolchain, such as the Java compiler, virtual machine, debugger, packaging and signing utilities, and the Javadoc generator, along with the standard Java SE 6 class libraries and documentation. This update focuses on stability, performance, and security fixes while preserving compatibility with the Java SE 6 specification. It is best suited for maintaining legacy systems that require Java 6; for new development, use a current, supported JDK.

Key components:

• Java compiler (javac) and application launcher (java) with the Java Virtual Machine
• Core tools: debugger (jdb), JAR and signing utilities (jar, jarsigner), class file utilities (javap, javah), and key/certificate management (keytool)
• Javadoc generator and the full Java SE 6 API libraries
• Integrated JRE for running and testing applications
• Samples and documentation to support development on Java SE 6

Note: This is an older update of Java SE and should be used only when compatibility with existing Java 6 applications is required.
