No.

The only thing that Java provides are common interfaces and annotations. All of the meat of the implementation are contained within the 3rd party implementations.

Just like you can't use JDBC with simply a JRE installation, you need to have a JDBC driver jar to actually implement the interfaces that JDBC specifies.
