I was certain that I'll find a duplicate question or a satisfiyng answer, but I haven't.

What I'm looking for is the answer to these questions:

Is there an official correlation between JEE / J2EE and J2SE / JDK versions?
If the answer is yes, where is it written?
If the answer is no, then why? and is there an unofficial version table (e.g. JDK 1.4 goes well with J2EE 1.3, JDK 1.5 goes well with J2EE 1.4, JDK 1.6 with JEE 5 and so on)

I can think of a couple of reasons for the uncoupling, but can't seem to find a good reference source

Would you start J2EE project nowadays if you have other alternatives? UPDATE: I think little clarification is needed: Is it worth investing in J2EE if practically everything it claims to offer can be achieved by using other technologies? To be honest, J2EE scares me by its monstrosity and I foresee… >>> More
