The context of the discussion is the enterprisey nature of J2EE, and this
is a major facet of it.  The J2EE set of APIs is defined, maintained,
revised, and distributed by Sun.  In the large business world, this fact
(not that it's Sun, necessarily, but that it happens this way at all)
carries with it enormous credibility.  The point I'm trying to make is
that, at least partly, it's the fact that you don't have to figure out how
to put which projects together to get a certain kind of functionality
which makes J2EE enterprisey.  I'm not trying to be snippy, I chose the
name "junktrunk" to emphasize this point.
