Chapter 1. Installing and Configuring JDeveloper IDE

Developing a web application using ADF is fun, and the most interesting part is to work in an integrated development environment such as JDeveloper IDE. JDeveloper IDE imparts a declarative environment and supports an end-to-end development life cycle for an enterprise application using ADF. JDeveloper has been designed to interact efficiently with most of the technologies.

JDeveloper has undergone several phases of changes/versions, and it is now the prominent, most preferred IDE for developing web applications using Oracle technologies, especially ADF. The latest version of JDeveloper available in the market is 11gR2 with the release Version 11.1.2.3.0.

  • Install JDeveloper on Windows
