Customers, partners and system integrators often develop extensions to
Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) applications. Such extensions have
traditionally used the same technology stack (Forms or OA Framework)
that the original EBS application was built with. This ensured that
the extensions are fully compatible with the rest of the installed EBS
applications.
With the emergence of the next generation Fusion Middleware technology stack, especially the Application Develoment Framework (ADF), an increasingly-common question is whether to use OAF or ADF to develop E-Business Suite Release 12 extensions.
Our E-Business Suite Applications Technology group has released a long-awaited whitepaper addressing this question. This whitepaper discusses the similarities, differences and overlaps between the OAF and ADF stacks.
If you're considering these technology stacks for your Apps R12 extensions, I'd strongly recommend reviewing this whitepaper:

- JDeveloper 10g with OA Extension Updated for Apps 12.0.3

Thanks Steve providing a constant updates about the latest happenings on the EBS Tech Stack. Apparently this article provides the approach to be used for customizing or building an entierly new application integrating with EBS.
Thanks once again.

In light of JDeveloper 11g being approved to production is the whitepaper from February still hold true or there is more integration with the eBusiness suite in 11g (which the paper refers to).
Thanks,
Gaby

Hi, Gaby,
Yes, this whitepaper still holds true even after JDeveloper 11g is certified with the E-Business Suite.
We've got plans for that certification, but as usual, I don't have any timelines that I can discuss here. You're welcome to monitor or subscribe to this blog for updates, which I'll post as soon as they're available.
Regards,
Steven
