Java JDK

I'm brand new to Linux/Zorin and I'm in a class to learn the basics of Java. For the class I needed to download NetBeans which I have but when I try to run it it says I need the JDK. The problem is that I don't know which one to download?

Anyone here know or have a suggestion? There are 6 different Linux downloads to choose from.

Depends on which version your class is using really, you can get the newest JDK but if your class uses the older version there will be differences, although generally the software updater maintains the most current version of the JDK and the JRE, but the JDK will totally depend on your personal requirements.
