JVM is a Java Virtual Machine which is used to Compile and Interpret the java source code. With the help of Java Compiler (to convert code into bytecode) and Java Intrepreter (to convert code into machine readable language) Java language can become platform independent.

JRE is Java Runtime environment and JVM is a part of JRE. There are different JRE's for different OS. JRE has the implementation of basic Java API and JVM. Inorder to run the java code on different OS's each OS should have a JRE which runs on that perticualr OS.

Hope this helps...
