what is different between JES and Java EE SDK ?
Hi
Thank you for reading my post.
can some one tell me what is different between Java EE SDK and JES ?
What i think is:
- Both of them support Java EE 5.0
- Both of them has access manager 7.1
Can we develop application on JES using netbeans IDE ?
What technicall benefits JES bring that Java EE SDK does not?
Thanks

The Java EE SDK is a developer kit that includes Application Server 9 PE,
as well as early access to other technologies and tools related
to Java EE 5 development. It is primarily targeted at developers
for doing development and prototyping -- although you can also
use it in production.
Java Enterprise System is a larger integrated stack of software and
services sold under a subscription model. The current release includes
Application Server 8.2 EE (and is therefore J2EE 1.4 based), but also
includes a large number of other products such as Web Server,
Directory Server, Portal Server, etc. For more details see:
http://www.sun.com/software/javaenterprisesystem
Note that it is an unfortunate co-incidence that the current release
of Java Enterprise System is Java ES 5, which has nothing to do with
Java EE 5!
Yes you can use Netbeans to develop applications for Java ES.
So comparing the two is really comparing apples to oranges. If you
are a developer and want to develop Java EE 5 applications than the
Java EE SDK is likely best for you.
If you are interested in a broader portfolio of software and servcies
including deploying J2SE 1.4 applications than Java ES may be a good
match.
