    According to the Oracle website:

    Sun Microsystems simplified the platform name in 2006 to better reflect the level of maturity, stability, scalability, and security built into the Java platform. Sun dropped the “2” from the name and deleted the “dot number” (the number following the period). Any updates to Java platforms will simply be noted as updates rather than adding a “dot number” at the end of the platform name.

    The above article relates to Java SE, but the same applies for Java EE, see here for more information.
