I was not satisfied with the reply i sent earlier. I'm not used to yet used to typing on a smartphone yet. Java EE extends Java SE platform with added API for object relational mapping, distributed and multi-tier architecture, web services,etc. Making it more useful servers. where as icedtea is basically Java SE,and would be missing the added components for Glassfish server that Java EE contains. Found Java EE documentation from Oracle: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javaee/documentation/index.html http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/firstcup/doc/java-ee001.htm#GCRLZ >As per the link you gave me, it says some graphical > components & fonts are extra, none of which are used in case of web > applications. again sorry the link was not helpful Best regards ED -- Learing Linux with Gentoo to earn LPIC1.
