Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Technical Overview

Components in Sun Java Suites

Java ES is available both as a single, end-to-end infrastructure software distribution and as individual suite distributions that target critical business needs. Java ES includes all Java ES components, while Sun Java System Suites include subsets of those components selected to meet particular business needs. The Java ES installer and uninstaller are included in all suite distributions, but are pared down to handle just the components in the suite. All shared components are also included in all suite distributions.

The contents of the individual suites and the business requirements each suite is intended to meet are listed in the following table.
