Last Friday my laptop did the typical Windows thingy and got a virus, which forced me to restage it from scratch. While I was going through the list of things I needed to install on the machine to get it up to speed with the previous configuration I had - I came to the point where I needed to upgrade my internet explorer 6 to 7, but then I decided that I'll take the opportunity that I still have an old IE6 on my machine and record a quick demo just to show how to use the Trinidad components with ADF in JDeveloper 11g to get Web UIs that are compatible with IE6.
The thing is that if you have to develop applications that will run on IE6 with JDeveloper 11g you can't use the new ADF Faces Rich Client Components. They are simply too advance for the capabilities of IE6 - so you need to switch to use the Trinidad components - which are a great offering after all (over a 100 open source free JSF components with partial page refresh, dialog framework and more).
You still get the visual editing and drag and drop ADF binding event if you use these components in 11g. Here is how it looks:
Great now that we got this out of the way - onwards to update my machine with IE7. I'll still be using Firefox for my day to day work, but you never know when someone might jump up and say - can you show me this cool ADF Faces UI on IE?

Very cool Shay! I imagine many many organizations will be be willing to "let go" of IE 6 for quite a while...although all the rich offerings in 11g will go a long way toward making the powers there move more quickly!

Shay,
We are kicking around all our options right now...trying to get these folks to use JDev 11g, but there are obstacles to overcome...
So I am checking out using Trinidad. I thought it would be nice to stay in JDeveloper 11g if I was going to develop Trinidad and deploy to a 10.1.3 OAS, but it does not look like JDev 11g supports deploying to OAS as a target of any version.
So does that mean it is best to just develop in 10.1.3 JDev to deploy to OAS 10.1.3? Because I do not know how to deploy a trinidad application manually to OAS.
Also I was wondering if it would be possible to run applications created in ADF Faces coming out of 10.1.3 JDeveloper in WebLogic 10.3? I will look into this if you do not know off the top of your head.

JDeveloper 11g was really meant for Java EE 5.0 - so the automatic features in it target this platform.
You can develop Java EE 1.4 apps with it and then deploy to Java EE 1.4 servers (OC4J 10.1.3 for example) - but this will mostly be manual deployment and configuration. So you might be better off with JDev 10.1.3 for that platform.
For OC4J 10.1.3 configuration with OAS 10.1.2 check out:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25221_04/core.1013/b25209/reconfig.htm#BABIEHFI
It wasn't officially tested but I believe people were able to run ADF 10.1.3 apps on WebLogic 10.3.
