What is the main difference between JavaSE and JavaEE?

I do not have a clear idea what the main difference between JavaSE and JavaEE is! I would like to know whether JavaSE is a subset of JavaEE or JavaEE is totally different开发者_Python百科 from JavaSE. I also like to know whether JavaEE JDK includes all of the classes and API libraries included in JavaSE.

If I install JavaEE JDK on my PC can I then install NetBeans? What will be the advantages?

Java Platform, Enterprise Edition or Java EE is a widely used platform for server programming in the Java programming language. The Java platform (Enterprise Edition) differs from the Java Standard Edition Platform (Java SE) in that it adds libraries which provide functionality to deploy fault-tolerant, distributed, multi-tier Java software, based largely on modular components running on an application server.

In JavaEE you can develop enterprise level web applications using javaSE libraries.

In a way yeah, you can say JavaSE is a subset of JavaEE. It adds more libraries that make deployment and development of enterprise applications easier. So, it includes all the libraries and more that are part of JavaSE.

You can install javaEE SDK on your PC and install netbeans. It is also possible with just javaSE SDK. Java EE is more advantageous (more bulky) if you are developing enterprise apps(more scable, distributed etc..)
