No, SDK == JDK. The only difference is that Sun decided that JDK is for Java1 (1.0 and 1.1 series) and SDK is for Java2 (1.2 and higher). Check Sun's Java site, you only get SDKs (no JDKs) there for recent Java versions. People just call it JDK because Java2 SDK is longer and JDK is easier to remember.
