Flavours in Java

What are the flavours in Java language?

All categories of Java has been divided into 3 division and by learning each version of java, we can develop various kind of applications.

Java has been categorized into three flavours.

 

Java Standard Edition – It is known as JSE. It is a very basic version and is the first flavour of Java Language. When we starting to learn Java, first we should learn Java Standard Edition(JSE) as this particular version of Java includes the basic application structure, Fundamental structure (Operator. Data type, OOP concept), Exception Handling and File handling.

It is also known as core Java. Standred edition is a widely used platform for computer programming in the Java language

It is the Java platform commonly used to deploy portable applications(Desktop applications) for general use

Java SE consists of the virtual machine which must be used to run Java programs, a set of libraries needed to allows the use of the system, networks, graphical interface and so on, from within that program.

 

Java Enterprise Edition – It is known as J2EE or JEE. J2EE is build up from JSE with additinal features for business purpose. It has extra libraries which can be used to develop JEE applications. It provides functions to deploy fault-tolerant distributed multi-tier Java software. This software is based largely on modular component running on an application server. To develop the application such as Desktop base and web base we can use J2EE.

 

Java Micro Edition – It is known as J2ME or JME- Java ME is a Java platform used to design for embedded systems(Mobile devices are one kind of such systems, Mobile phones, PDAs). Nowadays, this vertion is very popular for mobile application development – Android is the best example for use of Java ME
