A:
j2ee is enterprise edition.
Includes jsp, servlets, beans, and some other stuff for server programming.
j2se is standard edition. This is plain old Java. Includes GUI stuff.

A:
The biggest difference are the enterprise services (hence the ee) such as an application server supporting EJBs etc.

A:
First, J2SE and J2EE have been renamed. They're now JavaSE and JavaEE.
Essentially, JavaSE is your standard Java designed for end-users. That's what you'd develop to for desktop applications. JavaEE is the enterprise edition, designed for server programming, such as SOA and web applications.

@John: No! Old names are bad! You will accept whatever garbage Sun's marketing department feeds you, and you will like it!
