The java platform is available in three versions, enabling software developers, service providers, and device manufacturers to develop for specific markets: * java se (java platform,standard edition). java se formerly known as  J2SE. It allows the development and deployment of Java applications for use in desktops, servers, embedded environments, and live environments. java se contains classes for support Java Web service development, and is for java platform,enterprise edition (Java  EE) provides the foundation. * java ee (java platform,enterprise edition). This version was formerly known as  J2EE. The Enterprise Edition helps develop and deploy portable, robust, scalable, and secure server-side Java applications. java ee is built on the basis of Java SE , which provides Web services, component models, management and communication api, Can be used to implement enterprise-class service Oriented Architecture (SERVICE-ORIENTED ARCHITECTURE,SOA) and Web 2.0 applications. * java me (java platform,micro edition). This version was formerly known as j2me. java me provides a robust and flexible environment for applications running on mobile devices and embedded devices such as mobile phones, PDAs, TV set-top boxes, and printers. java me includes a flexible user interface, robust security model, many built-in network protocols, and rich support for Web and offline applications that can be dynamically downloaded. An Java ME specification-based application is written once, can be used for many devices, and can take advantage of the native capabilities of each device. So JSP belongs toJava ee.
