Did you do some reading about this? What do you think are the differences?

I asked the question more out of interest , But here is an excerp i got from a online site .


"Enterprise Java refers to Java applications written for enterprises; the leading technology here is Java EE which consists of a set of APIs (EJB, JMS, JPA, JTA, JSF etc.) and the application servers (Glassfish, Tomcat, JBoss/WildFly etc.) which implement these APIs (or a part of them). But Enterprise Java is not strictly restricted to Java EE; someone using Spring Framework for example is still an Enterprise Java programmer."

I think you are confused by the, admittedly confusing, terms used here. Java EE is not a separate version of Java. It is a library of additional classes that offer additional functionality; so there is nothing you can to in Java SE but not in Java EE. Everything added by Java EE however (as listed in the quote you found) is not present in Java SE.
