It is rather contained itself within the JDK which also contains a compiler.AS to the "problem", try learning a bit of Java. Start with a basic tutorial and work your way up from there.

jre is not a compiler, it contains a compiler. it's the runtime environment.
have you set the path to the jre in you OS environment variables?

something like a problem to do with "main"and also the red buttons
is a very vague description. I assume he's saying he can't find the main method. what do you mean by "the red buttons"?
