Java Enterprise Edition(J2EE):

J2EE is a platform-independent, Java-centric environment for developing, building and deploying Web-based enterprise applications online.J2EE includes many components of the Java Standard Edition (J2SE).The J2EE platform consists of a set of services, APIs, and protocols that provide the functionality for developing multitiered, Web-based applications.

J2EE simplifies application development and decreases the need for programming and programmer training by creating standardized, reusable modular components and by enabling the tier to handle many aspects of programming automatically.

If you are a enterprise developer you need J2EE. Enterprise developers need J2EE because writing distributed business applications is not easy, and they need a high-productivity solution that allows them to focus only on writing their business logic and having a full range of enterprise-class services to rely on, like transactional distributed objects, message oriented middleware, and naming and directory services.
