| J2EE: Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Editio |
Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE), now called Java Platform, Enterprise Editor(Java EE), is a programming platform—part of the Java Platform—for developing and running distributed multitier architecture Java applications, based largely on modular software components running on an application server. The Java EE platform is defined by a specification. Similar to other Java Community Process specifications, Java EE is also considered informally to be a standard because providers must agree to certain conformance requirements in order to declare their products as Java EE compliant; albeit with no ISO or ECMA standard.

| Jabber |
In networking world, Jabber means a faulty device (usually a NIC ) continuously transmits corrupted or meaningless data onto a network. This may cause denial of service of the entire network from transmitting data beacuse other devices will perceive the network as busy. Jabber may also means sending data packet greater than the maximum 1518 bytes as specified in IEEE 802.3. To prevent this, jabber control should be added to the hardware. Jabber is also the name of an open, XML-based protocol for instant messaging and presence. Jabber-based software is deployed on thousands of servers across the Internet.

| jaggies |
The jagged edges that appear in graphics on diagonal or curved lines. The stair-step appearance is the result of trying to build a diagonal or curved line out of little squares. One solution is to create the image in a large format and reduce it to the desired size, so the pixels are smaller in relation to the image. Another solution is anti-aliasing, which means putting pixels along the jagged edge which are of an intermediate color between the background and the image. This makes the line look smoother.
