Answer / hemanth kumar kalavagunta

The answer is in the word itself. j2se stands for java 2
standard edition. the categorization of java as java for
micro edition (j2me), java for standard applications (j2se)
and java for enterprise applications(j2ee) was done with the
release of java 2. there are major changes in java from 1.1
to 1.2 and to indicate this they started to call java as
java 2 platform, standard edition and this continued until
1.6 but now it was removed in 1.6. specifically this "2"
indicates the major changes in the language which happened
in 1.2 version and the changes in other versions are just
enhancements but not new introductions.
