I am so excited to see new JDeveloper 11g production release to the public. It has got tons of new features to play with. One interesting thing is that JDeveloper 11g now has a Installer :) which came as a surprise to me. Until now, we just unzip the package, but now, we have a cool installer, ofcourse as every oracle application install, this one too is a easy ride.
One major change that we have in this version is that the OC4J container is removed and BEA Weblogic container is used in place of OC4J. I was hurt by this because I like OC4J more than BEA. BEA app container is also a cool product and has a stronger foundation than OC4J. Still need to explore more on this area.
These are the quick installer steps for installing newwwwww JDeveloper 11g Production release:
We can see that this installation is similar to BEA Weblogic installation. Oracle has just managed to combine both the installers (Weblogic and JDeveloper).
And NOW for the JDeveloper 11g Interface
There are tons of new features in this release and can they can be checked here.
The quick tutorials can be found here.
One sad thing I felt is SOA part is removed from this release. From FAQs, I found that it will be released when SOA Suite 11g is released.
Sooo, until then enjoy the new JDeveloper 11g for developing ADF, Fusion and J2EE apps :)
