The server runtime environments "J2EE preview" and "J2EE Runtime Library" still use the ancient term J2EE that "is an aging reference that harks back to Java 1.2."

I think this should be renamed to use "Java EE". Both the actual name as the description should see this rename.

Additionally, the "JBoss v5.0" runtime environment that's shipped with WTP also uses the term:

"Publishes and runs J2EE 5 modules on a local server"

But there never was an official J2EE 5.

The "Apache Tomcat v7.0" environment uses the terms correctly:

"Apache Tomcat v7.0 supports J2EE 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and Java EE 5 and 6 Web modules"

Reproducible: Always
