JDeveloper

Prior to JDeveloper 11g, JDeveloper came in three editions: Java Edition, J2EE Edition, and Studio Edition. Each one offered more features on top of the others, and all of them came for free. JDeveloper 11g only has two editions: Studio Edition and Java Edition. In JDeveloper 11g, J2EE Edition features are rolled into the Studio Edition. A high-level list of features includes: – Java Edition • Java SE 9 Support • Code Editor • Code Navigation • Refactoring • Swing • Unit Test • Version Control • Audit & Metrics • Debugging • Profiling • Ant Support • Maven Support • XML Support • Open API & Extensions • User Assistance – J2EE Edition • JSP • Struts • JSF • JSF 2.0 • Facelets • EJB • TopLink • Web Services • RESTful Web Services • UML • Database Development • Deployment and management • Hudson – Studio Edition • ADF Databinding • ADF Faces • ADF Faces Skin Editor • ADF Mobile • ADF Business Components • ADF Swing • ADF Deployment • BPEL Designer • ESB Designer • Portlet Development • Portlet/JSF Bridge • oracle BI Ee In 2005, Oracle released JDeveloper as freeware. In 2006, still under the 10g tag, and after significant delays, Oracle released version 10.1.3 - the latest major 10g release. In October 2006, Oracle released version 10.1.3.1 that added support for the final EJB 3.0 spec along with BPEL and ESB design time. In January 2007, Oracle released version 10.1.3.2 incorporating WebCenter capabilities such as creating and consuming portlets, portlet/JSF bridge, and content-repository data control. In January 2007 Oracle had more than 150 people working in various roles on the product, including (in no particular order): developers, development managers, QA engineers, build engineers, doc writers, product managers, customer evangelists, and usability engineers. Development centers operated in Redwood Shores, in Bangalore, in Reading (UK), and in Pleasanton, Colorado. In May 2007 Oracle released a technology-preview release of version 11g. In October 2008 the production version of Oracle JDeveloper 11g, code-named BOXER, became available. In July 2009 JDeveloper 11g version 11.1.1.1.0, code-named Bulldog, became available In June 2011 JDeveloper 11g (11.1.2.0.0), code name Sherman, became available. In August 2017 JDeveloper 12c (12.2.1.3.0) became available. In September 2019 JDeveloper 12c (12.2.1.4.0) became available. ==Visual and declarative==

The JDeveloper code editor offers a rich set of coding features including visual and non-visual utilities that provide different views of the code. The software provides dialogs that guide the use of Java EE components. For example, JDeveloper provides a visual WYSIWYG editor for HTML, JSP, JSF, and Swing. The visual editor allows developers to modify the layout and properties of components visually: the tool re-generates the code. Any changes in the code will be immediately reflected in the visual view. JDeveloper provides a similar feature for generating JSF and Struts page flows. Declarative features enable programmers to generate EJBs or POJOs based on tables in relational databases. JDeveloper automates the creation of Java EE artifacts. For example, with a click on a visual artifact one can turn a Java class into a web service. JDeveloper generates the associated WSDL (Web Services Descriptive Language) document and related JAX-RPC components. ==License==

JDeveloper is free proprietary software for development and deployment. Oracle ADF has a runtime license when deployed outside of an Oracle Application Server. ==See also==
