∟Listing Java Tools in JDK

This section provides a list of Java tools included in the Oracle JDK package for Windows systems.

To see what Java tools are included in the Oracle JDK package, you can use the "dir" command on Windows or "ls -l" command on macOS to list all executable programs in the Java home "bin" directory.

Here is what I found on in JDK 15 on my macOS computer:

ls -l /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-20.jdk/Contents/Home/bin
   53312  jar
   53328  jarsigner
   53424  java
   53312  javac
   53312  javadoc
   53312  javap
   53312  jcmd
   53312  jconsole
   53312  jdb
   53328  jdeprscan
