Answer 1

Update: for short, Java JEE or Enterprise Edition is one of the different APIs provided by java (SE: Standard Edition, EE, ME: Micro Edition, JavaFX). It is an API that us built over the Java SE and which provides a large collection of high level classes and data types that are used today to develop multiplatform and large scale networked applications.
