Thanks for the explanation. As someone who in a past life developed Java systems (post-2006) for a variety of targets, I was never super clear on what Java EE's value proposition was or how it differed from frameworks that didn't require a separate install.
I now gather that it is a collection of helpful packages constituting a framework, but distributed separately from mainline Java core packages.
