Yes, there was a software project that we as students built with Java EE (we used Eclipse at that time) - we had to build on legacy code that another student wrote for his diploma thesis in Java EE. This is surely not typical, but sometimes it happens.
I also like Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise, which one can get by the Dreamspark Premium program (I use it mostly for C++ and C# development), though there are many features that were once Visual Studio Premium and Ultimate only that are now also included in the Professional/Community Edition, too (for example Static Code Analysis in C++). So the difference is much smaller than in earlier times, but some testing tools, which I use, (in particular Code Coverage) are still Enterprise only:
