Answer 1

Mule Studio is a graphical tool for creating integration applications that can be deployed to Mule ESB. You can also create Mule applications without the Studio, but usually you develop them in the Studio, and then run in the ESB standalone. You can not use Studio to run applications in production, it is just a development tool.

Answer 2

Mule Studio is the design time. It's an IDE.

MuleESB is the run time.

MuleStudio is also known as AnyPoint Studio and is used to design a 'flow', which is basically an integration having endpoints (inbound and outbound) and some pressing in-between. The Studio allows a visual or graphical view to design this flow. It supports round-tripping between the graphical and XML views. The Studio comes with an embedded runtime of the MuleESB.

The MuleESB is where the 'flow' designed in the Studio gets deployed. It is akin to an application server in concept. There are two versions available - a free, forum supported community edition and a paid for, SLA defined enterprise edition. The enterprise edition is a super set of the community edition in terms of features and capability.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 6

Now Mule has moved to anypoint studio. They have launch a new look with lots of good features. Anypoint studio is the development environment for any service which you are developing or mule esb

Answer 7

There isn't anything to differentiate b/w mule studio and mule esb. Both are part of mule product. Studio will help you in developing flows which can be deployed mule runtime (ESB).
