I see many advertised tools like JETSON and ThinkCAP claiming that non J2EE developers can develop applications in JAVA using these tools.
I want to know the pros and cons of using these tools.
Do they actually present a viable alternative to learning J2EE?
I am not looking for endorsements or critics of these products. Chances are they will be over my head anyway.
Your responses are very appreciated.

you may have posted in the wrong forum. this may get deleted or moved to other forums.
anyway, you are right about one thing, learning j2ee is 'time consuming', as it is composed of large technologies. you have to start at learning java as a language(try head first java book), after that, you can proceed to j2ee. at j2ee, you can pursue one at a time: jsp/servlet, ejb, web services. j2ee as a whole is another specification(j2ee specs, you can download free, but you can do the tutorial so as not to overwhelm you)
i dont know about the tools you mentioned. they could be higher generation languages that automatically generates java codes based on your specifications.
take it one at a time. it cant be done like, in 2 weeks. that is why we lots of job roles. because current technology is so wide now that each person can focus on limited stuff only.
