Upgrading your WebLogic to ADF 11.1.1.0.2

One of the first questions that come up with the JDev /ADF 11.1.1.0.2 release is how to upgrade your WebLogic 10.3 to it. Here is my solution:

Open the Uninstaller of your WebLogic installation
Select JDeveloper 11g (11.1.1.0.x) Studio Edition 11.1.1.0
Uncheck everything under WebLogic Server
Click Next to finish the deinstallation. If you're interested you can click on the Details button to see what has be uninstalled.
Now open the JDev 11.1.1.0.2 Installer
Select the WebLogic home where to install the new ADF version
Now deselect everything and select the Application Development Framework Runtime only. Note: This will also select the JDeveloper and ADF folder again.
To avoid class loading issues, rebuild all your EAR files.

Enjoy.

Note: You will find the Uninstaller either as $WLSHOME/wlserver_10.3/uninstall/uninstall.sh or %WLSHOME%\wlserver_10.3\uninstall\uninstall.cmd. On a headless server (like a Linux or Unix-based system) you may need to set the DISPLAY variable to an X Server like VNC or Xming. (Assuming that $WLSHOME or %WLSHOME% is your home directory for the WebLogic Server 10.3. installation.)
