JRE_HOMEis used forJRE(Java Runtime Environment). It's the Java Virtual Machine where Java programs run on. My example of%JRE_HOME%:C:\Dev\jre1.8.0_65 - Variable
JAVA_HOMEis used forJDK(Java Development Kit). It's the development kit to create and compile programs in Java. My example of%JAVA_HOME%:C:\Dev\jdk1.8.0_65
Shortly you use JRE in case you care of running programs only. On the other hand developing Java programs requires JDK.
