Some alternatives to eclipse like Netbeans have full install which means they include in one package the IDE, jdk and jre

You need both. First install the jre/jdk, then install eclipse. The first videos from bucky's (user name: thenewboston) java beginners tutorial on youtube show you how to do it. This is an excellent tutorial if you want to learn java.

Java code needs jre to run which can be provided by Jdk. so u have to install both Jdk and eclipse.

eclipse is an editor which provides you a development environment for smooth deveopment.... but it cant compile the code until you add jdk... it contains all the stuff which will help to convert your code into bytecode. So it is mandatory to add jdk
