JavaSE = Standard Edition. This is the core
Java programming platform. It contains all of the libraries and APIs
that any Java programmer should learn (java.lang, java.io, java.math,
java.net, java.util, etc...).
JavaEE = Enterprise Edition. From wikipedia: "The Java platform (Enterprise Edition) differs from the Java Standard Edition Platform (Java SE) in that it adds libraries which provide functionality to deploy fault-tolerant, distributed, multi-tier Java software, based largely on modular components running on an application server." In other words, if your application demands a very large scale, distributed system, then you should consider using JavaEE. Built on top of JavaSE, it provides libraries for database access (JDBC, JPA), remote method invocation (RMI), messaging (JSM), web services, XML processing, and defines standard APIs for Enterprise JavaBeans, servlets, portlets, JavaServer Pages, etc...
JavaME = Micro Edition. This is the platform for developing applications for mobile devices and embedded systems such as set-top boxes. JavaME provides a subset of the functionality of JavaSE, but also introduces libraries specific to mobile devices. Because JavaME is based on an earlier version of JavaSE, some of the new language features introduced in Java 1.5 (eg. generics) are not available.
If you are new to Java, definitely start with JavaSE.
I would also recommend using Eclipse instead of Komodo IDE, since this is the most widely used editor within the industry. Because it has built in support for Java, you will benefit from all the usual advantages of using an IDE: code assist, syntax highlighting, auto compile, etc...
Good luck!
