1.1 About Oracle JDeveloper

JDeveloper is an integrated development environment (IDE) for
building applications using the latest standards for Java, XML, Web services, and
SQL. It supports the complete development lifecycle with integrated features for
modeling, coding, debugging, testing, profiling, tuning, and deploying applications.
JDeveloper is the main development platform for the Oracle Fusion Middleware
suite of products. It is a cross-platform IDE that runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS
X, and other UNIX-based systems.
Oracle JDeveloper provides a visual and declarative development
approach and works together with the Oracle ADF to simplify development.
Key features of JDeveloper include:
A consistent development environment that can be used for

various technology stacks including Java, SOA, Oracle WebCenter Portal, SQL
and PL/SQL, HTML, and JavaScript.
XML-based application development.
A full development and modeling environment for building

database objects and stored procedures.

A wide range of application deployment options, including

Integrated Oracle WebLogic Server, an integrated run time service for running
and testing applications before deploying to a production environment.
Extension capabilities that enable customization of the IDE

based on development needs and add additional functionality.

JDeveloper is available in two editions: Oracle JDeveloper Studio
and Oracle JDeveloper Java. The Studio edition is the complete version of
JDeveloper and includes all features. The Java edition contains only the core Java
and XML features, and offers shorter download times. This guide is applicable to
both editions of JDeveloper.Oracle JDeveloper Information Resources 1-2 Developing

Sample Applications "The Summit sample applications for Oracle ADF are a set of
applications developed with the purpose of demonstrating
common use cases in ADF applications, including the
integration between the components of the Oracle ADF
technology stack (ADF Business Components, ADF Faces, ADF
DVT Faces, and ADF Controller). The samples consist of
several workspaces that demonstrate various features of
component functionality. For descriptions of the sample code
drawn from the Summit sample applications, see relevant
chapters of Developing Fusion Web Applications with Oracle
Application Development Framework.
