Oracle JDeveloper 10g - Evolution of an IDE
So I started talking about Oracle JDeveloper after all. I must admit that JDeveloper has evolved to be a nice IDE for Java and Java/Database webservices. The initial versions of this IDE, (versions 3.x etc) were pain to work with, but the latest 10g is smooth.
To give a feel of what it offers-
* Wizard based code generation for EJBs
* Refactoring tools [primitive, Move Class/Rename Class]
* UML diagrams [class,usecase, activity,sequence]
* UML to code binding
* WebDAV support
* Java and PL/SQL web services
* Swing Editor
* JSP/HTML editor
* Oracle Application Development framework - This makes development of routine CRUD applications a zip!
* Built in Struts support
* Built in Jakarta ANT support
* Profiling.Debugging support
* Great support form SQL, comes with a SQL Worksheet
* Support for CVS,Clearcase, Oracle SCM
* and, built-in application server for speedy code-compile-test cycles for J2EE apps
uh... and lots more..
Basically, Im hooked to it and dont want to change. Sometimes its quirky, but overall nice.
