However for Ebusiness suite customers the terms are generally interchangeable

J2SE 1.3 = JDK 1.3
J2SE 1.4.2 = JDK 1.4.2
J2SE 5.0 = JDK 1.5
J2SE 6.0 = JDK 1.6

Clarification on Jinitiator or JRE

Up until recently, the E-Business Suite Release 11i has required the use of Oracle Jinitiator to access its Forms-based applications. Oracle E-Business Suite system administrators can now configure their environments to support access to Forms-based applications with either Oracle Jinitiator, the native Sun JRE plug-in, or a mix of the two desktop client technologies, for more information see
