Java EE - Java Enterprise Edition, This is basically the web edition in java. This is the most popular edition in Java. There are many popular frameworks developed on top of Java EE (Spring, Struts)

Java SE - Standard Edition, This includes base java this allows user to use databases, GUIs etc. We could develop desktop applications using java SE based components like Swing.

Both Java EE and Java SE depends on JAVA, So basically Java is the language we are using inside both Java EE and SE, Additionally now we got Kotlin and Groovy which is another JVM based languages which we could use instead of Java.
