Taken together, the Java language, Java virtual machine1, and Java APIs compose the Java platform. Moreover, the Java platform is designed to encompass a wide range of computer hardware, everything from smart cards through enterprise servers. Therefore, the Java platform comes in three flavors:- Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) is designed for desktop computers. Most often it runs on top of OS X, Linux, Solaris, or Microsoft Windows.
- Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) is a comprehensive platform for multiuser,enterprise-wide applications. It is based on Java SE and adds APIs for server-side computing.
- Java Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME) is a set of technologies and specifications developed for small devices like pagers, mobile phones, and set-top boxes. Java ME uses subsets of Java SE components, such as smaller virtual machines and leaner APIs.
