In Simpler words J2SE is for developing the General Desktop applications where is J2EE is for developing Enterprise level applications.

J2EE has access to all of the SE libraries. However EE adds a set of libraries for dealing with enterprise applications.

J2EE is more like a "platform" or an general area of development.

In Java SE you write applications that run as standalone java programs or as Applets. In JavaEE you can still do this, but you can also write applications that run inside of a J2EE container. The container can do a great amount of management for you such as scaling an application across threads, providing resource pools, and management features.

J2EE has a web framework based upon Servlets. It has JSP (Java Server Pages) which is a templating language that compiles from JSP to a Java servlet where it can be run by the container.
