Can I run a Java program only with JRE?

It provides a platform to execute java programs. JRE consists of JVM, Java binaries, and other classes to execute any program successfully. JRE doesn't contain any development tools such as Java compiler, debugger, JShell, etc. If you just want to execute a java program, you can install only JRE.

No you can't develop java programs only with JRE

You will need JDK for compiling your programs.JRE provides only runtime environment,but JDK is something you will need to compile your code to make them executable by your JRE.You will need javac for compiling your code which is present in JDK.

However for resolving the issue of admin rights you are having, you can download and install eclipse which has its own built in compiler.

You need some program which compiles your sources, but that doesn't neccessarily have to be the JDK.

For example you can download Eclipse which only requires a JRE, it has it's own compiler (built-in) and you can develop with that. Eclipse does not require any admin priviliges, it's a zip file which you can download and extract.
