Java Editions
Java programming language comes in various editions, each tailored for specific
purposes in the world of software development. The primary editions include:
(1) Java Standard Edition (SE):
Known as Core Java, it forms the foundation of the Java programming language.
Focuses on essential libraries and components for general-purpose development.
Emphasizes object-oriented programming (OOP) principles.
Primarily used for crafting desktop or Windows-based applications.
The Java Development Kit (JDK) is a well-known implementation of Java Standard Edition
(Java SE).
(2) Java Enterprise Edition (EE):
Java EE (also known as Java 2 platform or J2EE) is the enterprise platform designed for
server-based application development.
Strongly emphasizes on large-scale enterprise applications.
Provides additional features like JavaServer Faces (JSF), Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB), and
more.
Suitable for developing robust, scalable, and distributed server-side applications, making
it a preferred choice for web development.
