(Java™ 2 Platform Enterprise Edition) Set of standards that leverages J2SE technology and simplifies Java development by offering standardized, modular components by providing a complete set of services to those components, and by handling many details of application behavior automatically, without complex programming. This is the standard on which the Sun ONE Application Server is based. See http://java.sun.com/j2ee/.
J2SE
(Java 2 Platform Standard Edition) Represents the set of technologies that provides the run time environment and Software Development Kit for Java development. See http://java.sun.com/j2se/.
Java
An object-oriented programming language developed by Sun Microsystems. The Write Once, Run Anywhere programming language.
Java 2 SDK
The software development kit that developers need to build applications for the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition, v. 1.2.

JavaBeans
A portable, platform-independent reusable component model. See http://java.sun.com/.
Java RMI
(Java Remote Method Invocation) (n.) A distributed object model for Java program to Java program, in which the methods of remote objects written in the Java programming language can be invoked from other Java virtual machines, possibly on different hosts.
JAXM
(Java API for XML Messaging) Enables applications to send and receive document oriented XML messages using a pure Java API. JAXM implements Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) 1.1 with Attachments messaging so that developers can focus on building, sending, receiving, and decomposing messages for their applications instead of programming low-level XML communications routines. See http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxm/index.html.
JAXR
(Java API for XML Registries) Provides a uniform and standard Java API for accessing different kinds of XML Registries. See http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxr/index.html.
JAXRPC
(Java API for XML-based RPC) Enables Java technology developers to build Web applications and Web services incorporating XML-based RPC functionality according to the SOAP 1.1 specification. See http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxrpc/index.html.
JDBC
Java DataBase Connectivity
JDK
(Java Development Kit) The software that includes the APIs and tools that developers need to build applications for those versions of the Java platform that preceded the Java 2 Platform.

JNDI
Java Naming and Directory Interface
JRE
(Java runtime environment) A subset of the Java Development Kit (JDK) for users and developers who want to redistribute the runtime environment. The Java runtime environment consists of the Java virtual machine (JVM), the Java core classes, and supporting files.
JSP
(JavaServer Pages™) Technology that allows Web developers and designers to rapidly develop and easily maintain information-rich, dynamic Web pages that leverage existing business systems. See http//java.sun.com/products/jsp/.
