This section provides a tutorial example on how to download and install the latest version JDK, which includes some nice Java tools, on a Windows system.

As a Java developer kit, the Oracle JDK package includes a number of nice Java tools.

Here is what I did to download and install JDK 17, also called Java SE 17, on my Windows computer.

Open the Java SE Download page with this URL: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/.
Click the "Windows" tab under the "Java SE Development Kit 17.0.1 downloads". You will see a new page with a list of different download files of JDK 17.
Click the hyper link of "https://download.oracle.com/java/17/latest/jdk-17_windows-x64_bin.exe", next to "x64 Installer 152 MB".
Save jdk-17_windows-x64_bin.exe to a temporary directory.
Double-click on jdk-17_windows-x64_bin.exe to start the installation wizard.
The installation wizard will guide you to finish the installation.

To test the installation, open a command window to try the java command. If you are getting the following output, your installation is good:
