The ultimate Java version table (J2EE, Java EE, Servlet, JSP, JSTL)

Viewed 33763

I'm looking for a component break down of Java EE (or previously know as J2EE) and Java SE

E.g.

J2EE 1.3: Servlet 2.3, JSP 1.2. JSTL 1.0, ...

J2EE 1.4: Servlet 2.4, JSP 2.0, JSTL 1.1, ...

Java EE 1.5: Servlet 2.5, JSP 2.1, JSTL 1.2, ...

In a simple table

It can be extracted from: http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.3/docs/ , http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/ and http://java.sun.com/javaee/technologies/javaee5.jsp but I'm looking for a simple table.

Is there something like this out there? Or should I write one myself?

Wikipedia has a Java EE version history. Not in a table, but you can easily bake one yourself based on that if you want. To make it available to everyone, you could just add it as a table to the very same Wikipedia page. The current Java EE 6 uses by the way Servlet 3.0 / JSP 2.2 / JSTL 1.2.

JSP 2.2 is by the way nothing more than a "maintenance release" of JSP 2.1.

This one is also nice:
