Umm, sorry, but I have to say no. The applications that provide the JEE software (Tomcat (limited), WebSphere, WebLogic, Sun AS, etc) all need to have a JSE/JDK provided to them. They do not come with one.
That is a somewhat meaningless distinction to the average beginning programmer, but then again an average beginning programmer should not be diving into JEE. And they should still be aware of it, as there will be an additional (or maybe more than one) jarfile that needs to be included on the classpath for compilation (and execution, although the programmer doesn't really see this all the time as it is simply a part of the configuration for the application providing the JEE).
