Is JRE get installed when using SQL Developer?

Eslam_ElbyalyNov 23 2021

Hi, as far as I know, JDK has JRE included. But when I downloaded SQL Developer with JDK included, I see neither JDK nor JRE installed in my Windows OS's control panel> Programs. Which means (I think) none of them is installed. How is SQL Developer working when they are not installed?
Another point....
Can I use another application which requires JRE, for example, ORDS without installing JRE if I have SQL Developer with it's JDK(which implicitly has JRE)?

No, we don't install anything.
We bundle a jre plus a few things found in the jdk, but nothing is installed on your machine.

The JDK is part of the ZIP file you've downloaded. See ...\sqldeveloper\jdk . SQL Developer uses this JDK by default.

Install Java if you need to run ords. Depending on sqldev for that isn't a great idea.
