JDeveloperis a freeware IDE supplied by Oracle Corporation. It offers features for development in Java, XML, SQL and PL/SQL, HTML, JavaScript, BPEL and PHP. JDeveloper covers the full development lifecycle from design through coding, debugging, optimization and profiling to deploying.
With JDeveloper, Oracle has aimed to simplify application development by focusing on providing a visual and declarative approach to application development in addition to building an advanced coding-environment. Oracle JDeveloper integrates with the Oracle Application Development Framework (Oracle ADF) - an end-to-end Java EE-based framework that further simplifies application development.
The core IDE exposes an API that other teams in Oracle use to build extensions to JDeveloper. BPEL, Portal, Business Intelligence and other components of the Oracle platform[which?] all build their design-time tools on top of JDeveloper. To accommodate to Sun Microsystems (and thus NetBeans) acquisition versions released after 2012 are sharing significant code with NetBeans platform. The same IDE platform also serves as the basis of another Oracle product, SQL Developer, which Oracle Corporation promotes specifically to PL/SQL and database developers.
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.
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.[3]
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.

Visit the Installation Guide for Oracle JDeveloper for an overview of the installation process and the Oracle JDeveloper Certification Information for platform specific information.
We recommend using a newer version of Oracle JDeveloper and Oracle ADF.
This is the release of Oracle JDeveloper 12c (12.1.3.0.0) . See the Documentation tab for Release Notes, Installation Guides and other release specific information. You can also view the List of New Features and Samples provided for this release.
Prerequites and recommended components for Oracle JDeveloper 12c (12.1.3.0.0) Linux (includes JDK 7) installation are available for downloading in the table below. For the install guide and release notes see JDeveloper's Documentation page.
Team Productivity Center is an Application Lifecycle Management tool that enables software development teams to collaborate and work productively together when developing applications using JDeveloper.
Prerequites and recommended components for Oracle JDeveloper 12c (12.1.3.0.0) Generic for all the platforms (without JDK 7) installation are available for downloading in the table below. For the install guide and release notes see JDeveloper's Documentation page.
When 12.2.1.4 became available the documentation about what has changed or which features have been added, was thin, very thin. In the last couple of weeks, this documentation became available too. Some broken links have also been corrected. You should look at the JDeveloper homepage ( -tools/jdeveloper/jdeveloper.html) regularly and search for new documents. Some other users and I ask support and the product management to add documentation which we found missing. Oracle support and product management reacted very fast and provided everything we asked for within a couple of weeks.
The first task, as usual, was to create a new ADF Fusion Web Application, add some business components from DB tables and build a small UI with the created objects. As I said before, the list of fixed bugs is impressive. However, making this first application, I found new problems.
There is nothing more stable about 12.2.1.4 (I recently upgraded from 12.2.1.2). It just crashes constantly, specially in debug mode. Come one Oracle you can do better than this sorry IDE!!! and I have been dealing with jdev since 10g day in day out it is not my first rodeo with this this. I love ADF but JDEV is the worse IDE I have ever used (I have used netbeans, borlan java/c/c++, MS VS, Eclipse, and probably more). I easily spend 30% of my time restarting it because it crashed or had some weird bug. Oh and you screwed fast swap ever since 12c, one of the most time saving features you ever had.
Most stable version you ever had was 11.1.1.6-7.
You should ask this question on the Oracle ADF forum ( _development_tools/application_development_in_java/jdeveloper_and_adf).
Please provide detailed system configuration there when you open a question.
Hi,
I am planning to migrate my project from 12.2.1.3 to 12.2.1.4.0 so what kind of issue I can face? Please explain me If you find any common issues. Any issue will happen in Model & Viewcontrolller . I hope you understood my query. Please help. Thanks in advance .
Thanks & Regards,
V Surendra Reddy,

I'm upgrading to Windows 7, and my question is whether I can install a higher version of JDK (say 6.0) on my machine, and also download a complete installation of JDeveloper 10.1.2, so that I can refer to the SDK version 1.4.2 that comes with the JDeveloper installation?
Or is it required that I should have jdk 1.4.2 installed on my Windows 7 to work with applications that I developed using JDeveloper 10.1.2?

In any event, you can configure a JDev project to use an external jdk rather than the one that comes with it.
Encountering the following warning message when launching JDeveloper in R12.2: "The version of JDeveloper is certified on JDK 1.5.0. You are attempting to run on JDK 1.6.0_21. JDeveloper may not run correctly on this version of the JDK. Continue?"

Please someone help me with the installation of oracle jdev.The instructions in the internet only support the old versions.The new version has a .bin file and a folder which contains some other installation data and I don't know what to do with that folder!I tried this commands which caused error..
On UNIX operating systems, Oracle recommends that you set the umask to 027 on your system prior to installation. This ensures that file permissions will be set properly during installation. Use the following command:
From the above the new permissions you set 777 will not let the installer go forward. Hence you need to take it back to the default then follow the instructions above in the excerpt. The was o requirement to change the permissions in the first place. If you downloaded the zip file then unzip again and check the permissions with ls -l . Armed with this information you can now follow the recommended way to run the installer.
Note: The remainder of this document uses to represent the directory location in which JDeveloper was installed. For example, if JDeveloper was unzipped in c:\jdev10g, the would be c:\jdev10g.
Note: JDeveloper provides OJVM, and OJVM can be installed for use with JDeveloper, but this configuration is only supported for JDeveloper projects, not the JDeveloper IDE. For information about OJVM on Linux please refer to the JDeveloper Release Notes at: /jdev/readme.html.
To use CodeCoach and the Profilers with a base installation you need to install OJVM, the specialized Oracle Java Virtual Machine for JDeveloper. OJVM will also increase the speed of the JDeveloper debugger, and provide automatic deadlock detection and memory debugging features. If you performed the complete installation using jdev1012.zip, OJVM was installed automatically. If you performed the base installation using jdev1012_base.zip, you will need to manually install OJVM into your SDK. The batch file InstallOJVM.bat (provided with JDeveloper) will copy OJVM files into the specified SDK and update the configuration of that SDK. The files are copied into a separate OJVM directory and will not overwrite any of the existing files in the SDK.
