Java Developers are to benefit from a new release of
Oracle JDeveloper and the Oracle Application Development
Framework.
The enhanced tools address Web 2.0 and mobile application
development requirements.
At Oracle OpenWorld in San Francisco, Oracle has announced
Oracle JDeveloper 11g and Oracle Application Development Framework
(ADF) 11g, both components of Oracle Fusion Middleware.
A Java-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) offering,
Oracle JDeveloper 11g provides a unified design and development
experience, featuring advanced tooling and visual development for
all Java EE 5 standards and APIs.
Used independently or together, Oracle JDeveloper and Oracle ADF
enable "exceptional productivity" by making it easier for
developers to create and deploy Java EE 5, Web 2.0 and Asynchronous
JavaScript and XML (AJAX) Rich Internet Applications, said
Oracle.
"Developers are faced with a multitude of technologies and
learning curves for building Web 2.0, mobile and rich enterprise
applications, adding complexity and cost to the development
process," said Ted Farrell, chief architect and senior
vice-president at Oracle.
"Oracle JDeveloper and Oracle ADF address these complexities by
abstracting developers from the underlying technologies, providing
an immense productivity boost for standards-based application
development."
Under the Oracle Technology Network licence, Oracle JDeveloper
11g and Oracle ADF 11g are free to download for evaluation and use
during development.
A production licence for Oracle ADF is included with all
editions of Oracle Application Server and Oracle WebLogic Server,
or can be licensed separately. Oracle JDeveloper is free of charge,
with an option for technical support that can be purchased
separately.
